Following on from the success of his best selling book Doing the Doors, doorman, bodyguard, ex-mercenary and martial arts expert Robin Barratt recalls more hard-hitting stories from his frequently violent life on nightclub doors around the UK. Barratt also records a few incredible and often hilarious tales from his time as a bodyguard in France, Russia and The Ukraine.

After being sent to clean up one of the most famous nightclubs in Paris, Barratt found himself ‘hanging out’ with a top Hollywood actor. In the Ukraine he came up against corrupt officials and in Russia he worked alongside ex-Russian Special Forces. Confessions of a Doorman starts by chronicling his steroid related heart attack at the age of just 43.

Describing a lifetime of violence, turmoil, confusion as well as his controversial opinions on the Security Industry Authority and his thoughts on what makes a first-rate doorman, Confessions is frequently comical, often shocking, occasionally heart-warming and written with Robin’s usual style of pace, humour and honesty.
