Gritty, feisty, dark and fun, Bouncers is as relevant and poignant in Hollywood today as it was in Edinburgh when first performed at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 1984. Five actors not only portray the Bouncers of a Yorkshire, England disco club, but the disco's patrons, both male and female, as well.
