About
What is Second Degree?
Second Degree is the result of me having to quickly organise a trip to the theatre to get me out of trouble. The small group of friends has become a large group of enemies and is now London’s most exclusive theatre and interesting things club with over 400 members, more than 300 of whom have joined via personal recommendation.
Who are you?
I am Second Degree and that is all you need to know. If you must know more you can join and eventually find out.
Why should I join?
You don’t have to but, if you like or would like to go to the theatre then it is probably of interest to you.
How much will it cost?
Nothing.
There are however some rules that will need to followed and you will find yourself removed from the list if:
-
You don’t buy any tickets for a long time, usually around 1 year as I am not a free information service.
-
You engage in improper conduct at the theatre. No black tie required but please be civilised and show some respect for other patrons and actors - i.e. no talking during the performances and, for the love of Satan and all that is evil, please put away your mobile phones. I don't care who you are, it is just plain rude and I am having none of that from Second Degree;
-
You try to "sell on" their ticket/s - through sites like ebay / viagogo etc.
The last one is very important to me as I have built an excellent set of relationships with various theatre companies and agents and their trust is important to me.
Who is on the list?
People. If you must know more than it is those that love the theatre and who, like most professionals, don't know about what the next must-see show is until it is in the press and it is sold out.
There are some people of note, one of whom is my Mum. She is great and brings a snack for me each time she comes along, she also stops me from fighting with my brother – that, though, makes her less great, as he does deserve a slap.
Very few people have voluntarily left Second Degree. The main reasons why some have are:
-
Having a baby - apparently this means you cannot go to the theatre;
-
Leaving the country - apparently this means you cannot go to the theatre;
-
Being a tight arse - apparently this means you cannot go to the theatre;
-
Being attracted to me - completely understandable as you are distracted from what is showing but not available - the Mrs does (not) want to share.
You can always unsubscribe. No-one is part of Second Degree against their will, apart from Mrs Second Degree and my Mum.
How can I introduce my friends on to the list?
If you think they would like to join and are people that enjoy the theatre, then by all means feel free to do so, I just ask that you at least attend two shows with Second Degree so that you can make an informed decision and recommendation.
