…as told by his dancer Nina Ribena:

This has come to be what I spend a lot weekends doing: slipping my dinosaur leotard on, attaching those massive feathery eyelashes and trying to attach my hood to my hair with as many pins as possible. Often the dancers have not been considered in the drinks rider, so we are thinking of going on strike.

He goes on, feathered headdress in hand, and then it’s a case of nervously waiting behind a curtain/door until he drops our opening tune.

All together we look like a little dinosaur family, dressed in black and silver and wielding massive confetti cannons. And it’s when we’re all on that stage together that the crowd’s smiles start to get bigger as they realize that this is about to turn into one big party. Up, right, left, down, round, round, round, round, round goes my tail. It’s that bit in the set where we turn our backs to the audience and do our very bouncy, booty-shaking routine. I’ve never see the reaction of the crowd, but apparently it goes down pretty well.

Spin, spin, bump, spin, try not to fall over, bow… throw up a Nandos.
