Dancing is a right, unalienable and not for removing, it is up there with singing, being able to stand on stage and deliver a poem, recite a monologue or doing anything that gives you pleasure and in which does not hurt another person.

However if you are good, if you are very good and eat everything set before you and say your prayers and remember to confess your sins, you might just be fortunate enough to see one of the best comedies likely to hit Liverpool this year, the beautifully irreverent, the supremely funny Once A Catholic.
