    BEST OF Peter Kay’s Phoenix Nights | Comedy Compilation



    The Phoenix Club has seen its fair share of questionable and hilarious moments… Here are some of the BEST Phoenix Nights scenes and moments 🎤🙃

    Impressario Brian Potter is willing to do anything to make a go of his club Phoenix Nights, and his band of loyal staff and regulars are all keen to pitch in as well. But somehow fate and drunken horses seem to be conspiring against them.

    Some comedies secure cult status after just one episode. The first series of Phoenix Nights, created by and starring Bolton-born comic Peter Kay, is one of those rare gems that few saw on first showing but that everyone was soon talking about. Wheelchair-bound Brian Potter (Kay) runs the Phoenix, a shabby social club populated by an assortment of wonderfully observed characters. It’s grim up North and despite the best efforts of the staff to inject life into the proceedings–be it an alternative comedy night, a version of Robot Wars in Potter’s beloved Pennine Suite or a Wild West extravaganza–each evening’s entertainment always ends badly. Undaunted, the Phoenix denizens continue to strive for their dream: a world in which “clubland never dies”.

    Even though Kay is the focus of the show (having also directed and penned the series), this is no star vehicle; the hapless security guards, the club entertainer Jerry, and Ray Von the dodgy DJ all combine in an ensemble comedy the likes of which hasn’t been seen since Fawlty Towers. You have to watch it a couple of times just to catch all the visual gags, let alone pick up on all the nuances of the brilliantly written script. If you missed it the first time round, now’s your chance to own one of the best British sit-coms of recent years.

      Phoenix nights was a direct lift of Vic and Bob's The Club – so when they came to write a sitcom they nicked the Max and Paddy format to make Catterick 😅

      those were the days ,this is what it was like in the clubs like the miners ,railway mans , labour clubs bowling clubs ,there was nothing on tv no internet so you had to go out to the clubs and get a laugh was crazy but fun , then it all changed in the 90s and the clubs vanished, so sad, young people now could never experience anything like it the comedy the cringe worthy acts with a few pints it was all good

      Absolutely loved this show. It was filmed round the corner from my house and school, so got to see them filming everyday. Can't go wrong with phoenix nights 😂

      F3ck me sideways. Nearly laughed my back out rewatching some of these scenes. Peter Kay is a little bit old hat these days and has started to rely far too much on nostalgia and observational comedy. But, the writing in this series is really fantastic. I was only a kid when this came out, but I remember spending loads of time around social clubs and people just like this when I was young. The characters may seem far fetched to some. But, they're really not. There are people and bars like this dotted around all over in The North. There's always something bizarre going on.

      Every time I walk in Astley Bridge ASDA in Bolton I always remember plastic bin bags from this scene, can't believe they removed the cafe and replaced it with electronics.
