From old skool to old bastard, Donald Jenkins has been addicted to the rave scene’s sweaty underbelly for over thirty years.
‘Still Raving in Your 40’s?' mixes music, dramatic monologue and spoken word poetry to ask,
‘Should middle age stop you from being a raving reprobate?’
Come on a fascinating journey through the most epic musical movement of the British underground.
This is the journey of illegal all-nighters, Class A drugs and never ending after parties, a funny, lyrical and highly relatable enactment of the fascinating, grimey world of rave culture.
Jenkins explores how this thirty-year obsession has affected him physically, mentally, and financially.
Isn’t it time he grew up and packed it all in?

"Emotional and euphoric, smothered with laugh out loud comedy" (Newcastle Fringe Festival Review)
“Funny, moving, sweet and honest" (Sound of the Underground Festival, Ouseburn Trust)
“Heartwarming to hear rave culture being talked about openly, honestly, from lived experience.” (Show attendee)
Donald Jenkins is a performance poet, musician and theatre maker who loves to rant and rhyme. I have performed throughout the UK including Glastonbury Festival and the Royal Albert Hall and my work has featured on ITV.
