Live from The Phoenix Club
WHAT'S ON AT THE PHOENIX CLUB
Fans of Peter Kay's Phoenix Nights comedy series can catch the following stars and characters live on stage:
Clinton Baptiste
Hundreds of years ago, when man walked the planet, he had no real means of communication. In time, man developed a phenomena, which has never been fully understood by the psychic community. This phenomena is... Clinton Baptiste!
Comedian Alex Lowe takes his hilariously hapless, unsubtle "pyskick" from Peter Kay’s Phoenix Nights on a UK tour, investigating paranormal activities with his Mystic Hunt. Not to be missed.
