Peter Kay's Phoenix Nights is a BAFTA-nominated British sitcom about The Phoenix Club, a working men's club in the northern English town of Bolton, Lancashire, England. The show is written by Neil Fitzmaurice, Peter Kay and Dave Spikey, produced by Goodnight Vienna Productions and Ovation Entertainments, and was broadcast on Channel 4 in the United Kingdom. All the music was written by Toni Baker & Peter Kay. Two series have been produced, which were first transmitted in 2001 and 2002. The show is a spin-off from the spoof documentary series That Peter Kay Thing, and in turn gave rise to the spin-off Max and Paddy's Road To Nowhere. It won the People's Choice Award at the 2002 British Comedy Awards, and was nominated for several others. Kay is also its star (in multiple roles) and directed the second series. In September 2006, Peter Kay co-presented Edith Bowman's show on BBC Radio 1 and revealed that a third series of Phoenix Nights has been written, but it is unknown when the series will be filmed. On 8 May 2007, another announcement by Kay was made promising another series will be made. On 18 January 2008 Dave Spikey shrugged off rumours of another full series of Pheonix Nights being made but said that a Christmas special for the end of 2008 is more likely than not.

The characters from Phoenix Nights first appeared in the pilot episode of "That Peter Kay Thing" (2000), however the club in that episode was called the Neptune Club, which burnt down at the end of the episode. When Peter Kay was approached to come up with an idea for a sitcom, he brought the characters back feeling that he could expand them and give them more depth and he also gave them a new club.

Nearly all the scenes throughout both series (including when the bouncers went to France) are filmed in or around Bolton.

The series was filmed in a real club in Bolton.
