The Daily Teaser — 30-9-2013: Jack The Ripper … !

Right: it’s a Monday.

But I did want to briefly mention that the date for the next Dropkixx show — officially endorsed by Brentwood’s own wrestler, Cayden Blade — has been announced: 12th October, this year.

If you click on the links in the sidebar — where the poster is — you’ll get taken through to Brentwood Theatre’s Facebook page, where you’ll be able to find out where to book tickets.

With that said … ?

Let’s move on.
