Eric is the philosopher of the group who makes intelligent observances on life. He works out in the gym and boasts of his prowess on the bench press. There is an air of menace surrounding all the bouncers, but Eric has a violent temper which bubbles over when goaded by his rival Judd. Godber’s great skill – and that of the actors – is in switching the foursome from bouncers to giddy girls or youths up for it or Hooray Henries with their rugger songs, all in a turn or a gesture. At times, however, the updating is less than convincing. The caricatures, especially the hideous public school boys, sometimes seem all too 1980s and the totally unreconstructed barber, nipping out his fag and suggesting something for the weekend, belongs in a different age.Bessman’s scene by scene reinvention of Godber’s extraordinary play-without-a-plot still draws all its appeal from the skill of a tightly knit four-piece ensemble cast, and their ability to switch in an instant from playing the door supervising bouncers of the title to a host of other characters. The difference here is that it’s not just the versatility of their acting that’s on show. These guys have got some serious moves, and the sheer physicality of their performance lifts the show to another level. In the early 1990s, an Australian government study on violence stated that violent incidents in public drinking locations are caused by the interaction of five factors: aggressive and unreasonable bouncers, groups of male strangers, low comfort (e.g., unventilated, hot clubs), high boredom, and high drunkenness. The research indicated that bouncers did not play as large a role "...as expected in the creation of an aggressive or violence prone atmosphere [in bars]." However, the study did show that "...edgy and aggressive bouncers, especially when they are arbitrary or petty in their manner, do have an adverse effect." The study stated that bouncers: This ‘Urban Remix’ appears here for the third time at the Royal Court, having previously played on both the studio and main stages, but there’s a reason that it is fast becoming as much of a favourite as the original on which it is based.

Many seem poorly trained, obsessed with their own machismo, and relate badly to groups of male strangers. Some of them appear to regard their employment as giving them a licence to assault people. This may be encouraged by management adherence to a repressive model of supervision of patrons ("if they play up, thump 'em"), which in fact does not reduce trouble, and exacerbates an already hostile and aggressive situation. In practice many bouncers are not well managed in their work, and appear to be given a job autonomy and discretion that they cannot handle well.

Director Miriam Mussa (with extremely able assistance from cast member and movement director Zain Salim) wrings gallons of energy and inventiveness from the four actors, who sing, dance, bump, grind, mince and wrestle their way through two hours plus of showtime.

Bouncers also often come into conflict with football hooligans, due to the tendency of groups of hooligans to congregate at pubs and bars before and after games. In the United Kingdom for example, long-running series of feuds between fan groups like The Blades and groups of bouncers in the 1990s were described by researchers.
