Sober the new comedy film (coming soon) was pretty much entirely shot in Leeds.
Leeds, isn’t just a location for the film – Leeds, the city. Is a very real character in the film.
The main characters Dan and Ant – played by Dean Smith and Tom Gibbons – are both Leeds lads and fans of the mighty Leeds United – and in real life too – Dean and Tom are both Leeds born and bred and are fans of LUFC.
SOBER the Movie MADE IN LEEDS
Leeds locations (especially the city centre) feature throughout the film – there’s even a title sequence which follows Dan into work, from the suburbs right into the city centre.
For fans of location spotting – Sober has lots of Leeds landmarks – some sporting, some architectural, some historical and some which are just nice to look at (Leeds looks lovely in the film).
ALAW
As well as the city – the football club – Leeds United – features heavily in Sober – as well as the fans of Leeds (including The Square Ball Fanzine and Podcast). All Leeds Aren’t We?
There are some sporting Leeds Utd references and a few Leeds Utd related jokes too.
I’VE BEEN TO LEEDS
So, if you’re from Leeds – Sober is a film to look out for when its released into the wild.
Sober (2023) is the new comedy film set in Leeds and starring Tom Gibbons (Funny Cow) and Dean Smith (Waterloo Road / Still Open all Hours).
