A Bull On A Bike

The other night in Dubai I went to a press preview of HoofbeatZ.

Unfortunately, far from being an equine take on hip-hop culture, as the name suggests, it was promised to be a dancing horse show illustrating the dynasty of the four-legged carrot-munchers through history.

In reality it was a bunch of bored looking Dobbins being led around a sand-pit while a voice not dissimilar to Ballsy – the booming voice of the Lotto – outlined the importance and wonder of our retractable penis-boasting furry friends.

It was pretty shoddy, the low point being the jousting section, where instead of actual jousting a dude in a tin foil suit picked up large hoops with his jousting stick to a ripple of under-whelmed applause.

But then, just before the interval, my evening was made. It was the matador section, featuring this ‘bull’:








Yes, it’s a man on a battery-run two-wheeler clumsily traversing around the sandpit. I nearly had a heart attack. Go and see it!
