Pretentious bollocksPossibly the worst event I ever went to was an evening of turntablists in London. The lights went down, the first guy put a cymbal onto a turntable, dropped the needle on it and left it making screeching noises for ten minutes.
When the lights came up, half the audience had snuck out.
What's the most pretentious rubbish you've ever been to see in the name of art?

where's gordon?i worked in the Hammersmith Apollo in the early 90's when Philip (Let's Go Travel) Scofield was 'playing' Joseph in the Technicolor Dreamcoat.
He was full of it.
One night only about 400 out of a potential 5500 tickets sold. Phil threw a thespian hissy crying about how he wouldn't perform to an empty theatre
Who did he think he was? A great actor, apparently.
Cue the manager, "Oi! Scofield! WHERE'S GORDON?GET ON THAT FUCKING STAGE OR YOU'LL BE STRAIGHT BACK IN THE FUCKING BROOMCUPBOARD"
I think that was a night of personal learning for Philip, when he finally realised, deep down, he was a worthless piece of shit that no-one except the mentally subnormal could tolerate
