House of Life is a reimagined and expanded version of the cult Edinburgh Fringe late-night sensation, presented by Rodeo Productions, Tilted, Sheepsoup and P3. At the centre of the show is the glitter-clad RaveRend, part preacher, part DJ, part master of ceremonies, leading audiences through a night of collective celebration, emotional release and ecstatic dancefloor communion. The show is described as part rave, part ritual, part communal awakening, combining live music, movement, comedy and catharsis. Creator and performer Ben Welch originated the role of RaveRend, with co-creators Lawrence Cole and Nic Harvey also involved.
