Forget the X Factor, we guarantee that a night on the Karaoke stage will have your mates in stitches.
At least you won't have to worry about embarrassment in front of strangers, as these 2-hour gigs are done in brilliant private pods with a 6000 strong playlist catering for every music genre and preference. Drinks are served while you howl away (with laughter) at your mic, which seems to bring even the most reserved alive.
Having said that, there are always a few surprises as you discover the new Adele or Cee Lo Green in your activity break group and who has been keeping their world class recording voice under wraps and who is best left for the shower. Who knows when Simon Cowell may be watching?
Make sure you have your camera phone switched to video, to prove you knew them before they were famous. There's something so liberating about a good old sing song, especially after a bit of Dutch courage and isn't it funny that once you see the real words on screen you wonder what on earth you were singing about for all these years. If you're watching from up there Whitney or Michael, don't worry, nobody's going to steal your crowns just yet.
