Chaos erupts at a Liverpool, England, pub when an error in scheduling means two groups of older men have booked the venue for a celebration at the same time. Making things even worse, one cadre is a bunch of dedicated Roman Catholics from Ireland, the other is a gathering of devoted Protestants. The evening's entertainment only aggravates the tense situation, with a raucous punk ensemble being followed by a frazzled magician known as Rosco de Ville.

4/5

Luke W May 3, 2018 Scouse, Irish, northern Irish humour mixed in with bizarre extreme religious partisans. The gorgeous Ray McAnally ....gone too early. Give this a look if you like alternative humour, lots of sub plots and some great performances by b listers. See more
