Last Night A DJ Saved My Life
New Theatre Oxford
Until Saturday

THE Hoff. I mean THE Hoff. He of Knight Rider, Baywatch and sometime pop stardom.

Who could resist the chance to see a living legend in the flesh?

Apparently I was not alone in this thought as the enthusiastic audience at Oxford’s New Theatre whooped, clapped, jiggled and sang their way through The Hoff’s latest vehicle, Last Night A DJ Saved My Life.

Set on Ibiza some time during the 80s and 90s (it can’t seem to decide when exactly), it tells the tale of club owner and DJ Ross (Hoff) whose daughter comes to visit and falls in love amid a culture of clubbing and drugs.

Ross has to become reacquainted with his now almost adult daughter (who looks strikingly like Pamela Anderson) and get to grips with the rise of House music.

Really, the whole thing is an excuse to singalonga lots of 80s and 90s club classics.

Veering between panto and karaoke, the audience are encouraged to dance and sing to their hearts’ content and take as many pictures and selfies as they wish.

It’s not going to win any awards, but it obviously didn’t set out to. It’s funny, cheesy and in places quite surreal — there’s even a Baywatch song.

Plus you get to be in the same building as The Hoff, which is surely worth the price of admission alone.
