Saturday nights at the Devenish have taken on a whole new meaning after last weekend’s performance by the UK Pleasure Boys, an “erotic entertainment” troupe. It’s the talk of the town.

Explicit footage of the event at the Finaghy complex instantly went viral, unsurprisingly. It’s not that often you see a posse of fully naked men dancing with local women in a Belfast bar, or maybe I just don’t get out enough.
