We have been picked by @studiowaynemcgregor to present our new work as part of the Venice Biennale Danza 2025. We want to say a huge thank you to Wayne, the team, everyone we’ve worked with this year. This last year, next year, and BULLAYCHE as a whole has felt a bit surreal. This is two friends running a dance/music/arts company, working class people navigating a ridiculous desire to make our idea of whatever a theatre show is lol. It wouldn’t have happened without all the love we’ve been shown “A GOOD MAN IS HARD TO FIND” will premiere 24th & 25th July 2025 @labiennale

Earlier this month at London’s Sadler’s Wells East, London’s @bullyache_ unveiled A Good Man Is Hard To Find, an anarchic stage performance spanning conspiracy theories, the financial crisis, and ceremonial sacrifice, its crosshairs aimed at the global power structures that seem to have spiralled out of control. For Another Man’s Summer/Autumn 2026 issue, BULLYACHE’s Jacob Samuel and Courtney Tylor Deyn hit pause on their practice to reveal some of the touchstones that inform it, from Lil B and Latin dance to Gladiators. Subscribe to our Substack to read parts one and two of BULLYACHE’S Obsessions Index, and catch the duo at London’s The Mandrake tonight. Interview by @emmaedavidson #BULLYACHE #ObsessionsIndex

BULLYACHE have been on La Fomo’s radar for a while. We included them in our listings countless times. We sat down with Courtney Deyn and Jacob Samuel, the artist duo behind BULLYACHE, to talk about how it began, what’s coming up at Sadler’s Wells East tonight, and making performance that refuses to sit neatly in one form. 🎟️ One more show was added on Saturday 9 May at 2pm after the rest sold out… told you to get your tickets early 🔥🔥. @bullyache_ Interview by La Fomo Filmed and edited by @selim_fadhlaoui — 📌 BULLYACHE: A GOOD MAN IS HARD TO FIND Thursday 7 May – Saturday 9 May @sadlerswells_east Direction, Music & Choreo @bullyache_ @jacobfsamuel & @courtney_my_real_name Art direction @sinisaaaaa Set @tor_tor_tor_studio Costume @lamaskarade Lighting design @trocadera_2000 Rehearsals director @lewiswalker_x Performers @bullyache_ @oscarjinghuli @sam_dilkes @yang_fl_frank @pierreloupmorillon @giacomoluci Produced by @flo_trioux — Not sponsored.

If you’ve been searching for something fearless, this is it. BULLYACHE'S A Good Man is Hard to Find invites you into a world we’re rarely allowed to witness up close. Visceral, sharp and impossible to ignore, this is physical poetry that draws you in and lingers long after. @bullyache_ 📆 7 - 9 May 🎟️ sadlerswells.com/east #BULLYACHE #AGoodManIsHardToFind #ContemporaryDance #DanceTheatre

BULLYACHE | 22/05/26 🔗 ticket link in bio @bullyache_ BULLYACHE is a London-based performance and music group working at the intersection of live art, club culture and dance-theatre. Their hyper-sensory works combine choreography, sound and theatrical staging into immersive environments that move between concert, performance and ritual. Since forming in 2021, they have quickly gained recognition within contemporary performance contexts, including being named Artists to Watch 2026 by Frieze and receiving the international commission at the Venice Biennale Danza, where they premiered A Good Man Is Hard to Find. At Hyperreality, BULLYACHE present a music-driven iteration of their performance practice: a saturated collage of guitar ballads, electronic textures and staged presence that deliberately blurs the boundaries between festival spectacle, club energy and contemporary performance.

They burn the guilt and keep the system. In A Good Man is Hard to Find, BULLYACHE moves through spaces shaped by ritual, control and unspoken rules, revealing what so often goes unseen. @bullyache_ 📆 7 - 9 May 🎟️ sadlerswells.com/east #BULLYACHE #ContemporaryDance #DanceTheatre
