How Far Away Are They? An evening with the cast of Phoenix Nights
How Far Away Are They? An Evening with the cast of Phoenix Nights | Victoria Theatre Halifax | Friday 2 October 2026
Twenty five years after Phoenix Nights first burst onto our screens, the people who made it happen are back together for a hilarious evening of stories, secrets, memories and mayhem from one of Britain’s most loved comedy series.
This is not a tribute show. These are the actual cast members who were there when it all happened.
Join the stars of Phoenix Nights for a night of behind the scenes stories, unseen moments, backstage disasters, audition tales and the kind of off camera chaos that could never have made it onto television.
From filming at Bolton’s St Gregory’s Club to the live tour, the cast lift the lid on what really went on during the making of a comedy classic that still means so much to audiences today.
The line up will vary from show to show, but regular guests include Neil Fitzmaurice (Ray Von and co writer of Phoenix Nights), Toby Foster (Les), Steve Edge (Alan), Janice Connolly (Holy Mary) and Archie Kelly (Kenny Senior).
The evening also features a top support comedian, followed by an audience Q&A where fans finally get the chance to ask the questions they’ve been holding onto for the last two decades.
Whether you watched it the first time round or discovered it later, this is a rare chance to spend an evening with the people behind one of the greatest British comedies ever made.
A night for Phoenix Nights fans everywhere.
