How Far Away Are They? - An Afternoon With The Cast of Phoenix Nights
LiverpoolHot Water Comedy Club at Blackstock Market, 17 Blackstock Street, Liverpool L3 6ER
Doors Open: 11:00| Show: 12:30| Ends: 14:40
25 years after Phoenix Nights first burst onto our screens, the cast are back together for a hilarious evening celebrating one of Britain’s most loved comedy series.

“How Far Away Are They?” is a chance to hear the real stories from the people who were there. The people behind the characters. The people in the rehearsal rooms, on the set and in the middle of the
chaos as Phoenix Nights became a comedy phenomenon.

Expect an evening packed with stories from auditions, filming, backstage disasters, live tours and
the moments the cameras never captured. Funny, nostalgic and often completely unbelievable, this is a rare opportunity to spend an evening with the cast of a genuine cult classic.

The line-up may vary, but regularly includes Neil Fitzmaurice (writer and Ray Von), Toby Foster (Les), Steve Edge (Alan), Janice Connolly (Holy Mary) and Archie Kelly (Kenny Senior).

The night also includes a live support comedian and an audience Q&A, where fans can finally ask the questions they’ve been quoting in pubs for the last two decades.

If you loved Phoenix Nights, this is the closest you’ll get to stepping back inside The Phoenix Club itself
