Hardcore Show Doorman Enforcing Strict 14 Tattoo Minimum

I'll complain, but these are facts, so I don't mind. Just compare any Berlin, London, or Amsterdam line-up to all of Barcelona's club or events line-ups, and you'll realize that it's only been going downhill for over a decade. The few interesting DJs or electronic acts appearing here and there are often at festivals one won't wish to attend because of the poor quality of the overall lineup, or at clubs with fascists bouncers where the act or DJ you wish to listen to will only perform very late at night. It's just not worth it.

Various #University #professors investigate the phenomenon of rising #aggression and #violence at #theatres and #music events in #Britain and the effects of changing #social values / #CultureWar although these problems have plagued "lower end" music events for decades (more so when #alcohol and #drugs reduce inhibitions) - its why we have had #bouncers at #nightclubs and #raves for years

Two lines in #Bouncers had me almost in tears, I laughed so hard.

One was to do with “a baby’s arm with an orange in its fist” and the other referenced “dead Smurfs”.

Sweet Jesus, it was so fucking funny. If you’ve seen the show, you’ll get it. If you haven’t seen the show, then you absolutely should. :)

‘Bouncers’ at the #NewVicTheatre tonight was outstanding. I genuinely can’t remember the last time I laughed so hard and for so long. There was a thread of sadness to it that was incredibly moving, but it was a real treat, performed superbly by a cast of four. Four barrels and four handbags were the only props, there were no costume changes and no set. It was brilliant.
