Stand-up show by Phil Mealey, co-writer of 'Early Doors', celebrating the sitcom's early years.
Phil Mealey is coming to Scarborough Spa Theatre on Saturday 19 June 2027, with a show called A Celebration of Early Doors - Behind the Bar and Beyond. It's a comedy night that looks back at the years of Early Doors, the sitcom Mealey co-wrote, and takes the audience behind the bar and beyond.
If you're not familiar with the name, Mealey is a BAFTA-winning writer, actor, musician and singer. He co-wrote Early Doors, the BBC sitcom set in a pub in the North West, and also co-wrote The Royle Family, another of the BBC's long-running family comedies. Both shows built their reputations on the kind of small, observational humour that comes from watching people just being themselves in a familiar setting — a pub in one case, a living room in the other.
This show is a celebration of those Early Doors years, and as the title suggests, it goes behind the bar to look at the show from the inside. It's Mealey on stage talking about the sitcom he helped create, so it's a good one if you've spent any time laughing at the regulars in the pub.
