YOU NEED TO SEE THIS. Seriously, if I could just fill my allocated word count with just those five words repeated, I would. House of Life is indescribable so lucky for you that means no spoilers, though I already know that nothing could spoil your enjoyment.
I was supposed to go to the opening night but closed roads and some other hing happening in Glasgow prevented this. Shout out to the press team for fixing me up again. Admittedly, when I went in a week later, I was doubtful that the typical opening night magic could be maintained for my visit…
I was exited to see House of Life after hearing so much about it. But being the slightly pessimistic Scot that I am, I put the hype to the back of my mind wanting to experience it on my own terms, completely unbiased. I left the venue with my glittered face sore from smiling and totally filled with their Kool-Aid.
If you’re a cynic, dear reader, you might be thinking: Stop gushing. Ugh, how can two guys I’ve never met, in a room full of other randos I’ve never met, be that good? The world has gone to shit, Louise!
Well, you know that hope you’ve quickly been running out of? That dwindling faith in humanity and your lack of basic, but truly meaningful human connection?
House of Life will give you some of that back. I promise.
You’ll find music, comedy, dancing, audience participation that isn’t mortifying and, best of all, HEART. The Rave-rend and Trev will funk you. They’ll funk you so damn hard, all other funks will be forgotten. Praise be!
I’ll end this as I started it because I don’t want ya’ll to have any confusion – YOU NEED TO SEE THIS.
Underbelly, Cowgate (Belly Dancer) 9th till 25th August ( excl. 12th)
