How to get in free to any club (skit)!

Kudos to whomever (or is it whoever?) can get away with this in Ireland

What works here is to walk in right behind the DJ and say you're his driver - when I've done this legitimately I've never been questioned and they've never asked the DJ.

Saw this video a while ago - is worth the watch.

My mate has done it a few times when there is a live gig on. He often takes his guitar out and he just blags the club/pub that hs is a sound tester or some sort of rodeo (while holding up the guitar)

I even tagged along one night and got away with it.

I done it before and got away with it, one night @ The Temple Bar Music Centre i think Bryan G (Jungle DJ) was on, i went up to the door and put on a London accent, said "alright mate my name is Dan im Bryan G's driver and mate, he aint arrived yet as he's been delayed, i was on an earlier flight to him but he will be here in the next 2 hours,.you don't mind if me and my mate go in anyway cheers" bouncer says "yes of course go right in, and here's a wristband to get you backstage as well" result, so we are in there and the nite was brutal to be honest, then right out of the blue i met someone i know in there and he said "im outta here have you not heard, The Kitchen is closing and tonite is the last ever nite" i was like :eek:i had no idea, so off we went around to the Kitchen to be greeted by the same bouncers that i had a love/hate relationship with over the years (i was banned for 6 months before for errrrmmmm ), they smiled and said "well Jonny this is the last nite so in ya go and have a great nite";) so in i went and it truly was a memorable nite even if it was half empty (amazingly it wasn't advertised and not a lot knew about it)

I've just remembered ive actually blagged into clubs a few times most notably The Red Box (Tripod), i used to write articles for a fanzine in UCD on clubs and DJ's, usually my mate used to tag along with me carrying a camera, even when our name wasn't down on the guest list in the Red Box i used to bring along a copy,of the fanzine with an article i wrote about the Red Box and show it to the bouncers, one time Mr Reynolds himself was on the door, he seemed delighted that there was an article praising the Red Box so that was another backstage pass sorted for Dave Clarke, the bouncers sussed me and my mate out in the end as we were constanly trying to blag in for free:D

Other clubs include - Ormond Multimedia Centre, Temple Of Sound and The Funnel, tried it once @ Sides and was laughed at (mainly cos they knew my face):D

Speaking of which...what actually happened to The Kitchen? Why did it close? I was abroad for many years and was surprised to see it closed upon my return...

I actually don't know man, there was various rumours doing the rounds, one being that business wasn't good with so many other clubs in Dublin but i don't believe that one as The Kitchen used to get some big name acts and most times ive been there always had a good crowd, another one was that Bono just wanted to close it for some reason, as i said i don't know for sure, a real shame though as it was a good club and i had some great nites there,it was never gonna be the best ever club in Dublin but it did have some great nites, jaysus you'd never get that anymore on a Tuesday nite in Dublin like you had in the Kitchen with Genius the Techno nite, i must have went most Tuesdays throughout 97 or 98.

Me and a mate were walking up to the door of some club, cannot remember which one, and the w@nker bouncers look on his face said it all. He was about to mouth off and I put on a Liverpool accent and bleated on about my mates are inside and we are all on holidays here. Straight in we got. I was as annoyed as relieved to get in. To think we had to pretend to be foreign.
