At first glance, Members Club seems like a loud comedy-horror where middle-aged male strippers accidentally become involved in a witch’s plot to come back to life. It combines absurdity with the grotesque. The narrative follows Alan, the helpless leader of the sketch comedy group Wet Dreams, as he navigates the stresses of a dying career and the complexities of distant family ties.
Penises must be severed to satisfy a centuries-old witch’s dark ambitions, showing a unique blend of body horror and comic relief that challenges genre conventions. As the plot develops, the stakes dramatically increase, fusing lewd humor with the macabre.
The film is immersed in the rich tapestry of British cinema and is full of cultural references that resonate with a very local flavor. From its working-class humor to the strange cameos of old pop stars like Peter Andre, the movie has a unique style that pokes...

Members Club is a new horror comedy about Wet Dreams, a troupe of male strippers who were at their prime back when The Full Monty was a thing. Now they’re well into middle age, their middles are well out of shape and the bookings are drying up. Drying up to the point that their manager, Deano has just dropped them. But not before managing to book them a gig at a 12-year-old’s birthday party.
Refusing to admit defeat, or face the prospect of getting a real job, Alan takes charge and soon has a well-paid gig lined up. Of course, we know there’s a catch, but all Alan, Neil, Ratboy, and Carly can think of is the promise of their first big payday in years.

Black Water Pictures is thrilled to announce that their latest horror comedy, Members Club, will have its world premiere at this year’s Pigeon Shrine FrightFest on 24th August. This highly anticipated film, written and directed by Marc Coleman, is a wild fusion of The Full Monty and From Dusk Till Dawn, promising a unique blend of laughs and scares.

The film follows Wet Dreams, a down-and-out middle-aged male stripper group, as they grapple with a series of disastrous gigs and contemplate disbanding. Alan, the group’s optimistic frontman, seizes control and secures a seemingly lucrative gig in rural Essex.
