PREMISE
Wet Dreams, a middle-aged male stripper group have hit rock bottom. After a string of disastrous gigs, the gang considers disbanding. Alan, the group’s happy-go-lucky frontman, takes over the business and books the boys a lucrative and mysterious gig in rural Essex. But when the group arrive at the desolate club, their night quickly takes a dark turn. They find themselves tangled up in a plot to raise a murderous 16th-century witch from the dead.
Members Club takes you on a journey from the mundane world of middle-aged male strippers to the downright ludicrous world of talking cheese. Pineapple hedgehogs, whisky-drinking toads, OnlyFans for pensioners and Peter Andre’s most outrageous role yet. Leading to a rip-roaring finale that has never been captured on film before.
MARC COLEMAN
Marc Coleman, Writer/Director, says:
“I’m really excited for the world to see Members Club. We’ve been working on this project from script to screen for over 2 years and I can’t wait to show audiences what we’ve been up to. It’s a middle-aged ‘Magic Mike’ meets a British ‘From Dusk Till Dawn”
RAGHAV ‘GAV’ MUKERJI
Raghav ’Gav’ Mukerji, Producer, says:
“The world has been calling for a stripper-killing witch film for years and we were brave enough to do it and make it as balls to the walls mental as we could. It’s a testament to our director’s ability that there’s enough substance, heart and craft in the project to have the audience walk away feeling something too.”
KEVIN HARVEY
Kevin Harvey, of Black Water Pictures, says:
“When Gav and Marc approached Black Water with this project, we jumped at the chance to bring to market this highly original and frankly hilarious riot of a horror comedy.”
