Phoenix Nights isn't a comedy about the working men's clubs, it's a documentary 😁😁😁 .... After years performing in the places, every character that Peter Kay created is so real to me. Funny.
Everything makes me laugh about this clip! The “a-“ lead-in to “a-brimful of Asha”. The way we cut to an impassive elderly white British audience when Jerry first mentions an Indian reference to Asha Bosle. The eyebrow raise at “everybody needs a bosom for a pillow”
@@DavidSim1994WATP Im not sure how pensioner friendly though. A few of them look bemused! Apparently they were just regular people and not extras so possibly not aware what they were about to listen to. Have you seen the clip where Jerry is off his face singing chitty chitty bang bang? The crowd look genuinely frightening. Bloody funny though
I love they used the club audience, the real members of this club the expressions wonderful Sang in Bolton Accent Song written by a Band from Preston - true fact -
I used to manage a social club and I've been to a few as well and they are all 100% like this, so funny. I feel sorry for the younger generation because they'll probably never experience places like this because unfortunately it's all about the binge/drug culture now. Before covid, a lot of social clubs were struggling and forced to close their doors because their members would die and they would fail to obtain new ones becuase social clubs aren't exactly appealing to a younger generation. If you have a social club nearby after all this covid shit, please support it as much as possible.
Lockdown has changed everything. People make their own entertainment indoors. In an era of Strict Law. Resulted in a whole generation living on their phones.
we tried booking some shows at social clubs in my home town, its fun because you can smoke inside, but it sucks because there's always some old vet who puts his hands on women and then is like "what you don't respect vets???" lmao

1:27 "'Said! Everybody needs a bosom for a pillow, everybody needs a bosom - *_EEE!_* Everybody needs a bosom for a pillow: every body needs...a...bos..om......"
Its just the hopeless 'pathetic- ness' of it all that makes me laugh. that and knowing places like that were so common when I was a teenager and, most pubs and working mens clubs had strippers on every Saturday and Sunday lunch. now.... all sadly, long gone.
