Mike Bubbins returns, this time with a dazzling stand up show about the tribulations of being a man out of time.

“The 1970s, halcyon days when a man could be a man. And not just a man. He could be ALL man. A man’s man. But at the same time, very much a woman’s man.

For me, nothing can compete with the glamour of that age; it’s music, it’s television, it’s cars, it’s fashion, it’s moustaches. So I decided, many years ago to live in that golden decade, despite my wife, my children, my friends, my colleagues and everybody else I know, insisting on living in this one.

This might have made a lesser man feel like a Cuban-heeled outsider. A Cortina-driving fish out of water. A flared peg in a round hole. But not me. I am strong. I am well-groomed. I smell richly of spices and pine forests. I am, unashamedly, a Retrosexual Male.”
