Marking 25 years since the iconic sitcom first aired, some of the show’s best-known stars will take to the stage for “How Far Away Are They? An Evening with the Cast of Phoenix Nights” at the Victoria Theatre in Halifax for one night only on Friday, October 2, 2026.
The event promises an insider look at the much-loved series, with audiences set to hear behind-the-scenes stories, unseen moments and tales from the show’s creation.
Fans can also expect anecdotes from auditions, backstage mishaps and off-camera moments that never made it to screen.
The evening will feature a rotating line-up of original cast members, including Neil Fitzmaurice (Ray Von and co-writer of the series), Toby Foster (Les), Steve Edge (Alan), Janice Connolly (Holy Mary) and Archie Kelly (Kenny Senior).
A live Q&A session will also give audiences the chance to put their questions directly to the cast.
