i recently took a new doorman job, at a comedy club (dublin). been there a few w'ends now and thought it was a nice easy job, just remind ppl to not chat while the performers are on stage etc. peace of piss far away from the grueling nightclub scene id been in, or so i thought
had a group of english lads in tonight on a stag, some had seen a long day and were falling aleep through the 1st act, waited until the interval and asked them to leave. no probs with em at all and they thanked me for my patience etc.
bout an hour later one of the group starts continually chatting to his mate, i ask 3 times for him to consider the act and customers but no, 'fvck you mick cvnt' is the reply.
i step back and wait for the act to finish before i ask him to shift. at the point of getting him to leave his mates stand up, 'we'll take him out' i say fair enough, he extends his fist towards me so i push it down and his mate comes in from the side so i look towards him and outa the corner of my eye i see the troublemaker coming at me with a glass, dodged him and headlocked the toolbag and dragged him out by the neck.
so just when i thought id seen it all, i misread my environment and it nearly cost me a slashed face.
