BAFTA-winning writer and performer Phil Mealey brings his brand-new live show Early Doors – Behind the Bar and Beyond to the stage. Best known as the co-creator and star of Early Doors, Phil invites audiences back into The Grapes for an evening of laughter, nostalgia, behind-the-scenes stories and live music from the beloved series. Featuring favourite clips, unseen moments, stories from the making of the show, and live performances of songs from Early Doors performed by Phil himself, this funny, warm and revealing evening celebrates the characters, friendships and everyday humour that made the series such a cult favourite. Fans can expect rare insights into how the show was created, moments that never made it to screen, and the chance to spend an evening back in one of Britain’s most loved comedy worlds. Raise a toast “To the Regiment” It’s a Small World, so don’t be Half the World Away… come along and be part of it. “It’s a chance to step back into that world again — the people, the pub, the music and the laughs — and share the stories behind it all.” – Phil Mealey No booking fees when you become a Member – save £5 per ticket!
