  • About the book:

    Bring this much-loved English tradition back to life via the acts, the venues, and people like you who were sat, dabber in hand, waiting for the true star of the show... the bingo! 

    This is your ticket back to the golden years of the UK's Working Men's Club scene - an often undocumented part of British working-class history and British comedy history.

    Four million people a week were attending hundreds of clubs across the country as they provided a testing ground for acts that went on to break into mainstream television and achieve true stardom.

    'New Faces', 'Opportunity Knocks', and 'Wheeltappers & Shunters Social Club' were reliant on the Working Men's Clubs for raw talent.

    Les Dawson, Larry Grayson, Little & Large, and scores more all started their careers in the clubs.

    Peter Kay's 'Phoenix Nights' captured a Working Men's Club in decline - the 'Dirty Stop Out's Guide to Working Men's Clubs' relives them in their prime.

    It has already received major praise from clubland stars spanning the Grumbleweeds to Bernie Clifton.

    Dr. Ruth Cherrington, the country's foremost expert on the Working Men's Club movement, has called the 'Dirty Stop Out's Guide to Working Men's Clubs' one of the most accessible and affectionate records of the boom years of the movement ever written.

    Perfect birthday gift ideas for grandma don't get better than this.
