It’s Friday night, the weekend’s here and the party’s about to begin.

Time for dancing, drinking and the search for true love. The club’s getting hot but out in the cold the Bouncers are ready for anything.

Meet Ralph, Judd, Les and Lucky Eric as they relive a night in a Yorkshire disco in the 80s in an outrageous celebration of the northern nightclub scene.

It’s a screamingly funny ride through one of those nights as all the gang are out on the town – the boys, the girls, the cheesy DJ, the fish and chip van and the taxi home.

All under the watchful eyes of the Bouncers…

Voted as one of the greatest plays of the 20th Century in a National Theatre poll, and regularly produced around the world, Bouncers was nominated for Comedy of the Year in 1985, won seven Los Angeles Critics’ Circle Awards and five awards in Chicago in 1987. This comedy classic is unmissable!
