Admission is free for all but this is not a free-for-all so we kindly ask patrons to bear the following in mind:
- Coughers will be removed from the auditorium, bent over the nearest stairwell and thrashed within an inch of their lives with a vintage wicker slapper free of charge.
- Snorers will be hung upside down within our refrigerator for the duration of the concert.
- Members of the boiled sweet brigade shall be boiled alive in a flavour of their choice.
- Patrons seen to use a mobile phone (muted or otherwise) shall be ejected into orbit on one of our very comfortable mobile seats.
- Any patrons attempting to bring a canine into the auditorium shall be chained at the neck and dragged around the car park on their hands and knees whilst random members of the public randomly fondle them for the duration of the performance.
