BAFTA award-winning writer and actor Phil Mealey, co-creator and star of the BBC’s Early Doors and co-writer of the classic The Royle Family, invites you to a warm, funny, and heartfelt night celebrating his work and the people, places, and moments that inspired it.

Featuring behind-the-scenes tales, never-before-seen moments, songs and fan-favourite clips, Phil lifts the curtain on the stories behind the bar and beyond, exploring friendship, family and finding humour in the everyday.

Raise a toast “To the Regiment” and share an evening of laughter, stories, and songs including a few live performances from Phil himself.

It’s a Small World, so don’t be Half the World Away… come along and be part of it.
