Banbury United FC issued an apology after a raucous “Wet & Wild” show by the UK Pleasure Boys turned explicit at its clubhouse.
Club Reviews Hire Practices After Controversial Event
Banbury United said it was shocked when footage of the event at The Spencer Clubhouse began circulating on social media. The club had not anticipated the level of explicit content that followed, and now faces a review of its venue hire policies.
Video clips show male dancers in cowboy hats stripping on stage and then entering the crowd, where they appear to perform sexual acts, the Daily Mail reported.
In a statement, Banbury United said the event was a ticketed, 18+ show booked by an external promoter as part of a UK‑wide tour, and apologized to anyone offended. The club is reviewing what happened and will revise its hire and conduct terms for future performances.
A hospitality veteran told the Daily Mail that women, especially mothers, often let loose on a night out, suggesting the crowd needed to blow off steam. He said the expectation was a tamer experience.
Banbury United’s apology indicates it had not anticipated such a raucous atmosphere. The club said it will tighten its event vetting process.
If a Wet & Wild show by a group calling itself the Pleasure Boys is not to your taste, you can simply avoid booking it, a solution the club hopes to enforce. The incident underscores the need for clear event standards.
