THEATRECLUB STOLE YOUR CLOCK RADIO WHAT THE FUCK YOU GONNA DO ABOUT IT?



This is not our first time.
But it’s definitely our last chance.

Last year, just as we got to an age where we could start making something of ourselves, the whole country crashed down around us. At the apex of the countries economic collapse, we made a show.

THEATREclub stole your CLOCK RADIO what the FUCK you gonna do about it? is a glance at how it feels to be young inside a nation in a state of collapse; looking out to a future you know nothing about.

We sold out the Cube, were featured on national television and we also broke an awful lot of records (and smashed tomatoes).

Now we want to do it one last time. On a much bigger stage.
THIS IS THE LAST CHANCE
THIS IS THE VERY LAST TIME.

We will never do this show again. This is your last chance to be one the select few who will get to see it- ever.

For one night only. We’re sending it off. Packing it away. We’re giving it the epic going away party it deserves.

At some stage during the performance – maybe between the Stone Roses and ripping apart of phonebooks – I remember staring directly at the stage and thinking “fuck, that’s exactly it”. iamsteph, culture blogger

"Few moments this year have been more enthralling than Brian Bennett’s verbatim recital of Pat Kenny’s Frontline heckler, the rant delivered more serenely than a church sermon, and its juxtaposition against artful dance routines, fractured narratives and Breakfast Club lip-syncing pointed at their bizarre inheritance from an angry, waning, confused country."
