Let's face it, nothing says sexy better than a tone-deaf rendition of a once popular rock anthem. Watching a X-Factor wannabe belting out an angst-filled version of "Teenage Dirtbag" whilst working the crowd with eyes closed and prerequisite boy band moves, makes me feel all warm inside.
So nothing makes me happier than a little trip down to the Roadhouse in Covent Garden on a Wednesday night. The Roadhouse delivers on so many fronts - you get frisked at the front door then get to walk through the metal detector (so delightfully hardcore) then you descend into the entertainment area (and I do not use this term lightly) where you can buy a whole round of drinks for £14. Unprecedented value, people! What more could you ask for, I hear you scream? Well, I'll tell you. Entertainment galore!!!
After knocking back the cheapest drinks in London, I was very close to getting up and performing Whitney Houston's "I will always love you" (the drug affected version where she can't hit the high notes or remember the words but fills the awkward silences by swaying and looking comatosed and confused at the audience) but unfortunately, I had performance anxiety. The talent is too good at the Roadhouse - watch as one person after another gets up and belts out a tune with the live band. But never fear, even with performance anxiety, you can hold hands and hug the crowd because you're just a teenage dirtbag baby, like me.
See who else wants to form a boy band on HelloPulse at The Roadhouse
