Places to find public entertainment

You can tell us more about Rochester.

• If you're lucky enough to be out on the town in Rochester over the weekend you may be confonted by a group of people shouting 'Hey Boy' and raising their glasses on to their heads sporadically throughout the night. we're not sure where it came from, but suspect it may have something to do with a particularly hairy, tall fellow.hmmmmm.....
• has to be fagin on dickens festival days
• the worst thing bout rochester high st is the local bums that hang around local drunks hang around by what was the dickens centre so they dont get collared by the old bill for drinking in the high st a occasionaly you get the odd person playing guitars or flutes for cash but not very often cos they get told to sling their hook by the old bill
• homeless guy ALWAYS drawing on the bank machine steps, opp rocket. hes for real..
• The Yeti a strange hulking creature-man by the name of robert, a nice enough man as long as you dont have anything valuable on you or smell of cider(even on occasion a crushed mouldy apple will turn those feed instincts on)
• The guy next to the bank near the dolls house shop is really good at drawing!!!!
• theres the mumbling man, i used to know his name. he'll come and sit next to you at the monument and argue. tell him you shot JFK. oh, and the classic homeless guy whos houseboat sunk and now plays the guitar with one string and the song that goes "hermyenruoooooooooogeebralter". theres loads! a tramp stole my mates dog once. we saw him wearing it as a hat. serious, it looked very happy.

• that man who walks around rochesster with looadza dinbosars callin em dino, now hes good entertainment!
• Theres a guy that wanders around selling little dinosaurs made of foam for a pound each. He hates french people too. Hes quite funny. You'll probably meet the mumbling man if you sit down on the wall next to the memorial. He'll come along and tell you the quickest way to get to chatham and its backup. He wont go until hes had at least one arguement with you (he will contest everything you say). Quite scary but a completely harmless old duffer.
