Merry Christmas and a boozy New Year love from Loserville!
Just wanted to say a big thank you very much and a Jazzy Christmas to all our readers, supporters, writers, lovers and friends! My name is Rupert and I created the site over a year ago now and am so happy with how it’s going and will be announcing our plans for ’2011: A Loserville Odyssey’ shortly…
Enjoy your Christmas dinner, courtesy of Fura dels Baus…
Readers of Loserville! Just to let you know about the amazing super-great unmissable Titus Andronicus by Catalan theatre company La Fura dels Baus. Known for theatrics antics separating audience and theatre, their spectacle in the Canal theatre in Madrid proved no exception. Vrooming round the basketball-court-sized room on mini quad-bikes, the actors of the Degustación bashed audience members out the way in order to continue playing the virtual shoot-’em-up game visualized on all four walls of the auditorium.
Three More Chances to Catch Bourgeois & Maurice!
We previewed the show a little while back, and were lucky enough to catch them at the end of last week. Now there are just three more chances to catch Bourgeois & Maurice at the Lilian Baylis Studio @ Sadler’s Wells for their hit show Can’t Dance.
Can’t Dance runs until December 23rd.
Free Films Online. Legal.
Loserville is a bit late to the party on this one, but we just discovered indiemoviesonline.com, a website where you can watch a really good selection of independent films FOR FREE! Loserville recommends Alexis Dos Santos’ Unmade Beds.

Extravaganza Alert
If you want to gorge yourself on a cultural mash-up that will leave you on a strict New Year audio-visual diet cutting out all irony and kitsch, get yourself to this happening at the Brighton Centre on December 16th or 17th. The word ‘extravaganza’ was invented to describe it. Yes, it’s Jeff Wayne’s Musical Version [...]
Louis loves One Direction. Proof. From his own hand. Kinda.
Check out the vid squid. We can’t take credit for it, but still, there it is.
Loserville Loves…Chilango
So we were on Upper Street on our way to catch “Decline & Fall” at the Old Red Lion Theatre (review to come soon) and we needed nibbles, so we popped into ‘Chilango’, our new favourite fast-but-fab food joint.

Spanish Blunderboard! Tricky Traps and how to avoid them.
Languages have always been a source of much mirth and humour amongst human beings. Wordplay and blunders in particular tickle our funny bone in that way that nothing else quite can. Ever since mum told me to mind her French after ramming into the back of someone else’s car or when my older brother Rupert [...]
