Who would have thought a “Wet & Wild” show put on by a touring group by the name of UK Pleasure Boys would get out of hand? Not the English soccer team who allowed the 18-plus show to take place at their clubhouse last weekend.
Banbury United FC was as surprised as anyone when footage of the event hosted at The Spencer Clubhouse started popping up on social media. Now they’re reviewing how this could have ever taken place.

The clips of the event that surfaced show male dancers in cowboy hats dancing and stripping on stage, reports the Daily Mail. The dancers then go into the audience where they appear to “perform sex acts on members of a raucous crowd.”

It sounds wet and wild to me, but I have no idea what they thought they were signing up for. The apology they ended up issuing after the event indicates that they were expecting a much tamer wet and wild.
“I’ve worked in hospitality for a long time. Whenever these events happen the women just go nuts – particularly the mums,” a source told the Daily Mail. “I guess if it is your one night out in God knows how long, you are going to need to let off some steam.”
That’s one way to look at it. Banbury United FC had a different way of looking at it. One that required an apology to be issued.

“We are aware of video clips circulating online from the UK Pleasure Boys’ ‘Wet & Wild’ show held at The Spencer Clubhouse on Saturday, October 17. This was a ticketed, 18+ event,” they said in a statement.
“The images suggest that part of the performance towards the end went beyond what we find acceptable at our venue. We apologise to anyone in attendance who was offended. The venue was booked for that evening by an external promoter as part of a UK-wide tour,” the statement continued.
“We are reviewing what happened and will revise our hire and conduct terms for performance events as a result.”

This should be a simple fix. If the UK Pleasure Boys are coming to town for a “Wet & Wild” show, believe that they’re going to deliver said show.
If a wet and wild show by a group calling themselves pleasure boys is out of your comfort zone, don’t allow them to book it. Problem solved and, at the end of the day, that’s all I’m trying to do is help solve problems.
