DiscoBoy prankster Lee Marshall brings 'social discoing' to Deal promenade

He's carried out pitch invasions and halted London Underground passengers with his music pranks.

And now internet sensation DiscoBoy, whose real name is Lee Marshall, has shown some love to the coastal town of Deal with a impromptu promenade party.

Arriving in a silver van carrying his speaker and mic setup, the former Canterbury schoolboy from Hersden blared music to delight of beach goers.

The rave outside the Port Arms on Sunday saw small crowds dance along to drum and base tunes with some party classics like the YMCA thrown in.

He then posted a three-minute video of the experience to his blue tick certified Facebook page, captioned: 'Deal Beach impromptu DJ set went down a treat'. It has since racked up 36,000 views.

Joining the fun was King's Head pub landlord Graham Stiles, known for his Sunday dance session moves. His establishment is open for takeaways only.

Sharron Van Der Merwe was also among the crowd. She posted: "Had a great time. Thank you!"

Disco Boy describes himself as an "entertainer prankster DJ host" and has gained a huge social media following, with his video stunts watched by hundreds of thousands of people.

He is famed for dancing around supermarkets in his pants including at Tesco in Whitstable.

He also once played an impromptu music set to crowds outside the gates to the Prime Minister's street.

During lockdown, he has been performing private driveway sessions for those missing regular music and clubbing events.
