Back after a sell-out run in 2023, House of Life is a ‘you had to be there’ experience. When I say ‘HOUSE OF’ you say ‘LIFE!’ Their mission? To make you happy – at any cost. And boy do they succeed!
With everyone chatting away in the queue, excited for what the night is going to bring, the Rave-rend makes his first appearance by walking down the line and blessing everyone with face glitter, putting a smile on people’s faces before the show has even begun.
The Rave-rend and Trev take you through the stages of being uplifted to happiness by bringing you incredible music, creativity, and laughter and encourage you to join in on words of affirmation such as ‘I am ready, I am strong, I am feeling myself like I never have before’. They are an iconic duo, with talent oozing out of their pores.
A touching moment of the night was when the Rave-rend went around the room and got members of the audience who were with a friend, partner, or colleague, to share something nice about them. You can feel love filling the room.
The House of Life transports you into a fantastic fever dream you never want to wake up from, it is impossible to leave this performance in a bad mood.
