    Absolutely fantastic night out , had food there before the cabaret and for the price per head was good wholesome food. Everyone was so friendly and especially accommodating to our 80yr old mother who loved it , we had a booth and the service was exceptional. A big shout out for Carmen who came up and had her picture taken with mam, thank you 😊

    Super talented people! From music, lighting to the performers themselves! The venue doesn't reflect the show itself at all and actually let's it down! Wouldn't go for the food or standard of alcohol but they do cater for vegans which can't be said for a lot of other places in Blackpool..... All 10 hens all had just the BEST time & were so impressed with the performance! Shout out to the cracking host Zoe with the most sensational legs 😍

    I’m so saddened to read negative reviews! Some peoples expectations are ridiculous. I’ve just returned & I’m still buzzing from the show! I come to Funny Girls at least 3 times a year. We spent Saturday & Sunday night in awe of the stunning yet savage DJ Zoe & the cast. As always it’s a guaranteed good night! I have never been disappointed, not once! A magnificent listed building with original features. From the second you walk in the door a beautiful Queen on reception checks you in & you’re escorted to your seats. Staff working the floor & stalls will offer friendly table service. No matter where you sit the show is visually stunning, the cast are nothing short of athletes! Of course they need regular intervals, to expect them to maintain insanely energetic performance and not lip sync is ludicrous! My respect & appreciation for their craft & the work that must be put in behind the scenes is unmatched. Funny, perfectly choreographed & with attention to detail. A mix of traditional cabaret & contemporary drag makes the experience enjoyable for all. We love it so much that this weekend attended two evenings in a row! It was just £10 a ticket. It’s not a “rip off at all” like other reviews state. Drinks are the same price as any town centre club/bar. If you choose to be standing, as we did (we like to be close to the action) there is also friendly bar service, particularly from Annie. Her warmness stands out. She’s fantastic at her job! She’s efficient, skilled & brilliant with customer relations. Myself & many other people around us enjoyed her lovely service & friendly company during the intervals. I can’t recommend Funny Girls enough. You are outstanding! ALWAYS. Can’t wait to return.

    Amazing place The show was amazing we had such a good night. Was told the show started at 7 so got there early to make sure we could find it n not be late. Only to be the 1st ones there an the show didn’t start until 8:30 Drinks where steep it was £7 for a glass of rosé and £5 odd for a pint of larger Staff seemed lovely although one did seem a bit offish with us which made me feel a little uncomfortable asking for anything. The host of the night (in the photos) was fab so funny and kept us laughing in between breaks. This place is a definite MUST you will have a scream

    Fantastic... Just go see it! We were laughing all night & had the best time. The building & décor is beautiful. The MC was hilarious, the cabaret acts were very entertaining & each scene was sprinkled with humour. The hostesses were so attentive, kind & amenable, even though they were rushed off their feet. Nobody can escape the MC's attention so make sure you're ready to take a lighthearted joke about any random fact she chooses! We didnt eat there, but the drinks were good & there were some fun cocktail pitchers available for the holiday season. Wheelchair access is very good, no steps inside at all for ground floor seating. The loos were huge so no queueing ladies, they were well looked after too. Great venue, inside & out.

    The summer show is amazing with a lot of great tunes and performances by the cast. The finale is phenomenal and will really get you up on your feet. There is a 15-20 minute gap between each set but the DJ takes requests from the audience so you won't be bored. We opted to purchase the three course meal before the show which is served in the art deco restaurant. You can take your drinks with you to your seats for the show if you don't finish them during your meal.

    A must-see show if in Blackpool!! Betty Legs diamond is amazing as the lead performer. She constantly goes "off script" when doing the multiple acts, making it even more entertaining. She's been performing in the show for over 25 years too. The show itself is truly amazing. I was in awe of what they manage to achieve. The energy, professionalism and overall spectacle is first class. Zoe is the resident DJ, having been there from when the show started. She's funny, risqué and extremely entertaining. She engages with the crowd and gets a fantastic energy and atmosphere and vibe. What I also found amazing is the fact that both Zoe and Betty clearly love what they do. Despite being on the show for so many years they continue to have the desire to deliver a first-rate performance. The rest of the performers deserve a mention too, as they all do an exceptional job. Whilst the main focus is on Betty and Zoe, they all delivered throughout. The best place to see the show is on the ground floor, in one of the VIP booths. You not only get a great view, but also table service. One possible suggestion would be to have drinks menus on the tables however. Their online menue only shows a selection of the drinks they serve (there's no mention of cocktails or wines for example). Finally, you have to give a huge amount of credit to the show staying loyal to its northern noots. This could easily be a roaring success in the West End (commanding larger audiences and hefty ticket prices). I will definitely be returning.

    The show, music, and overall experiences were great. I'm glad we went. Paid £10 to get in. The draft cider was £5. I'm typically not a fan of drag shows, but this was more of a full production show. I'd definitely recommend going.

    The show was great, Zoe was so entertaining, don't think I stopped smiling the whole time. Drinks were much better prices than I'd expected too. The vegan food options weren't the best but nothing to complain about. Will 100% be going again

    This was a great night out! The host was so engaging and funny. The different themes and segments were amazing. We enjoyed it so much, and it was incredibly entertaining. Would highly recommend it if you love camp drag and a great night out.

    Good night and a good show too. Had table service which wasn't bad considering how busy it was. Not been for years, like the new venue. Worth a try for a night out

    We went for the show What a Party! Everyone was in such good mood. I was impressed, how entertained I was. This was my first drag show ever but not my last!

  • 5/5 HAYLEY H. 9 months ago on Google
    Absolutely amazing evening from the welcoming to the food which was 9 out of 10 to our seats. We were VIP so sat near the front of the stage and had waiter service. The show was just as it says Funny but professional. We had the best night in a long time. The dancers were fabulous and DJ Zoe was brilliant too. Full of fab people the whole evening was just great. Definitely recommend and it’s worth making it part of your weekend in Blackpool especially if it’s an event, birthday anniversary etc. We will be returning for sure. If you were wondering weather to go or not I’d say 100% go you’ll love it 😍

    Went with my daughter, who surprised me with tickets for my birthday. Didn't have a meal or food so can't leave a review for this. Was supposed to go on a friend's hen night over 25ys ago, but it got cancelled. Told my daughter I 'd always wanted to go, so glad she got tickets, we both had a great time,totally enjoyed the show, especially the Lord of the Dance segment. Would recommend anyone who loves musicals, check Funny Girls out, you won't be disappointed. The whole gang, bar staff entertainers, and DJ Zoe, so good at what they do, the atmosphere is fantastic. Bravo !!!

    This was my first time at Funny Girls! A standing ticket only cost £10: if you get there early enough, you can secure a table to rest your drinks on. Seated areas cost around double if not more, but I enjoyed being near the stage. In at least 2 ½ hours of entertainment, the talented performers delivered lots of high-energy musical numbers from Oliver, Aladdin, Hairspray, Chicago and more. A drag queen host provided laughs in between segments. There are a couple of bars to order drinks from. The show changes around every 3 months or so; when I’m next in Blackpool I’d definitely go see a new one!

    Funny Girls is amazing. My friend and I had the three course meal before the show which was very tasty. The show was fantastic. We saw the Halloween Show. The fabulous Carmen the DJ kept us all entertained between the shows. Our waitress was so lovely but I forgot to ask her name. The drag queens and cast were so entertaining. An absolutely superb night out.

    Absolute fab night out - singing, dancing, and laughing. It was a great performance. the food was perfect with plenty of it. So much that I wasn't able to finish it all! Well done to all the staff from security opening the doors, bar staff and waiters/waitresses to performers on stage, every team member was friendly and welcoming. Thank you for a wonderful night out ❤️

    We went for a friends birthday but booked too late to get a seat to ended up with standing. It was great! We didn’t need seating as we were standing right at the front and had a great view. The show was so funny and the variety of songs and performances was great. They also allow you to go in the club next door afterwards. This wasn’t very busy but might have been the time of year. I would definitely go again and recommend to friends. We saw a Halloween themed night.

    Wanted to go to Funny girls for years, it’s definitely was worth the wait. From start to finish it was brilliant. Best of all drinks reasonably priced. Zoe is the perfect host! Will definitely be back next time in Blackpool.

    Fabulous night out at Funny Girls. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. Would highly recommend. The only down side and its only a down side because..... (well if you know me you will know why) the male dancers who I might add were very easy on the eye were wearing WAY to much lol. If your in Blackpool check them out.

    Great venue. Great show. Fabulous performers, especially Betty with her hilarious little facial expressions which add a huge amount of comedy and personality to the show. Please keep it up! 😘❤️

  • 5/5 Angela J. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely fabulous show and lovely staff. Think I might have had the worse seat in the house though.... Will definitely go again but will make sure I can actually see the centre of the stage next time.
