The BIG Saturday Night Cabaret Show at FunnyBoyz Liverpool

Liverpool’s BIG Saturday Night Cabaret is less a show you quietly watch and more a four-and-a-half-hour party built around drag queens, audience games, live acts, and plenty of cheeky humour. You arrive at Blundells Supper Club, where a drag queen hostess welcomes you, then settle in for performances from singers, comedians, tribute acts, and drag artists.

I like the unlimited popcorn and the chance to join twerk-offs, lip sync battles, and Spin the Wheel rather than sitting through a fixed stage show. The other strong point is the range of performers, which can include talent from The Voice, X-Factor, and RuPaul’s Drag Race, along with local and international acts.

The main caution is tone and value. This is a loud, camp, sometimes smutty cabaret night, not a polished theatre production. One recent booking found the show funny and atmospheric but felt drinks were expensive and the overall event offered only fair value.

Key points before you book

• A 6:30pm to 11pm Saturday session: Plan on a full evening rather than a short cabaret slot.
• Audience participation is central: Twerk-offs, lip sync battles, catwalk moments, and Spin the Wheel may put you in the action.
• The entertainment changes: Expect a mix of drag queens, comedians, tribute performers, and vocalists.
• Unlimited popcorn is included: It is a simple extra, but useful during a long show.
• Blundells Supper Club is easy to identify: Look for the FunnyBoyz logo in the window and a drag queen hostess outside.
• Party packages cost extra: Birthday and hen groups can add decorations, fizz, shots, photos, and special attention.

Liverpool’s long-running cabaret venue gets a party makeover

FunnyBoyz presents this Saturday night event at Blundells Supper Club, described as Liverpool’s oldest and most established cabaret bar. The venue has been given a new lease of life by Linda Gold, the FunnyBoyz owner and Liverpool celebrity, with the aim of adding more glitter, comedy, and audience energy to the night.

That background helps explain the format. You are not booking a formal concert with a quiet audience and a carefully fixed running order. You are entering a cabaret bar where the room, the drag queens, and the people celebrating around you are all part of the entertainment.

The session runs from 6:30pm until 11pm, giving you 210 minutes of entertainment. That is a long evening for the listed price of $9 per person, although your final value depends on the ticket type and what you buy once inside.

The event is especially aimed at groups. Birthdays, hen parties, and even divorce celebrations can purchase a VIP Party Package per group. You can also attend without adding a package, but the party extras are clearly designed to make group celebrations more visible and more involved.

Getting inside Blundells Supper Club

The meeting point is straightforward. Go to Blundells Supper Club and look for the large FunnyBoyz logo on the window. A drag queen hostess waits outside the entrance to welcome you in, so you should not need to hunt for a small office or a hidden check-in desk.

This welcome sets the mood before you even enter. The event is theatrical from the door, and the hostess helps groups get oriented in a lively way rather than through a routine reception process.

I would allow enough time to arrive before the 6:30pm start, especially if you are meeting a large group. The supplied information does not give a detailed seating plan or entry procedure, and ticket types vary, so check exactly what you bought before you arrive.

Wheelchair access is listed, which is important for anyone planning a group outing. If you need specific assistance within the venue, it is sensible to confirm the arrangements when booking, since the available information confirms access but does not describe every feature of the building.

What the main cabaret night includes

The programme can feature tribute acts, comedians, live vocalists, and performers linked with television shows such as The Voice and X-Factor. Stars from RuPaul’s Drag Race may also appear, alongside local and international talent.

That variety is a real strength. A drag cabaret built around one act could feel repetitive across four and a half hours. Here, the mixture gives the night several different gears: live singing, comic routines, drag performance, crowd interaction, and party games.

The exact cast is not fixed in the information provided, so you should not book expecting a particular singer or television personality unless that person is named for your date. Treat the advertised line-up as a style guide rather than a guaranteed cast list.

The tone also matters. The show can be cheesy, suggestive, and smutty. One booking found the acts brilliant and funny but expected something more professional and was disappointed when the show moved to Benidorm Bar. That is useful guidance: if you want polished theatre, this may not be your ideal evening. If you enjoy broad comedy, camp presentation, and playful adult humour, the same qualities may be exactly what you want.

Audience games, lip sync battles, and Spin the Wheel

The interactive side is the heart of the booking. You may be invited to join a twerk-off or lip sync battle, and Spin the Wheel offers prizes during the show.

You do not need to be a skilled dancer or singer to understand the appeal. These games are designed to break down the line between stage and audience. You can cheer from your table, join in yourself, or encourage the person in your group who is happiest being the centre of attention.

Still, participation is a consideration. If you strongly dislike public attention, this is not the safest choice for a quiet night out. The booking is sold as an interactive drag queen experience, so audience involvement is not a small extra. It is part of the basic character of the evening.

The prizes from Spin the Wheel add a little unpredictability, but no exact prizes are listed. Think of it as a party feature rather than a serious competition. The fun comes from the reveal and the reaction in the room.

Meeting the drag queens between performances

The drag queens do not remain separate from the audience. They mingle between performances, which gives the evening a more personal and informal feel than a standard stage show.

This also means you should expect direct interaction. The queens may chat with people, encourage participation, and focus attention on birthday or hen groups. For many people, that contact is one of the best reasons to choose a cabaret bar instead of a conventional theatre.

The style is glamorous but knowingly playful. Linda Gold’s involvement in the venue’s revival points toward a show that values costumes, personality, and audience energy as much as formal production polish.

If you prefer performers to stay on stage, you may find this format intrusive. If you enjoy a night where the cast moves through the room and talks directly to you, it is a major plus.

Fizz and unlimited popcorn during the evening

The experience highlights a glass of fizz and unlimited popcorn. Popcorn may sound like a small detail, but it gives you something to snack on during a long programme without needing to leave the show for food.

The information confirms a glass of fizz and unlimited popcorn, though ticket inclusions vary. Read your chosen ticket carefully so you know exactly what is included. The basic experience, seating categories, and add-ons may not all offer the same package.

The VIP Party Package includes unlimited popcorn for the entire event, along with one bottle of Prosecco per group. Extra bottles are listed at £20 each in that package information. The standard booking information and one customer account also point to changing or high drink prices, so check the current menu and prices before ordering.

One recent booking found a bottle of wine priced at £29.95 and a can of cider at £6. The same person said prices changed during the visit and had to be queried. I would treat drinks as the biggest value warning here. The entry price may be low, but your bill can rise quickly if your group orders several drinks.

Birthday and hen-party upgrades

The VIP Party Package is sold per group, not per person. It is only valid when bought with a fully paid standing ticket or a seat in categories A, B, or C. Buying the add-on without a valid ticket will not be accepted.

The package is built around attention and decoration. Your table is placed in a preferred area and decorated with balloons and confetti. A goody bag is included, and the person celebrating receives shout-outs and takes part in the Queen’s Catwalk.

There is also a surprise Treasure Chest, with an opportunity to take part in the cabaret shows. The package includes a stage photo session with the drag queens, one round of shots, and one bottle of Prosecco. The shots are listed as one per person.

For a group marking a special occasion, these extras can justify the additional cost. The point is not only the drinks or decorations. It is the way the event gives the birthday or hen person a clear role in the show.

For a smaller group or anyone who dislikes public attention, the package may be too much. The Queen’s Catwalk, shout-outs, stage photos, and show participation are features, not background details. Buy it because you want that spotlight, not simply because it sounds like the cheapest way to get a drink and popcorn.

Is the $9 price good value?

At the listed price of $9 per person, four and a half hours of live entertainment, interactive games, drag performances, and popcorn can look like a strong deal. The price is especially attractive if you want an energetic night out without committing to a major theatre ticket.

The value depends on your expectations. You are paying for a party atmosphere and a changing mix of acts, not a tightly produced West End-style show. One booking described the atmosphere as good and the acts as funny, but still judged the overall cost as high for the quality expected.

Drink prices are the main factor that can change the calculation. A low ticket price is less meaningful if you plan to buy wine, cider, or several rounds. I would decide your spending limit before arriving and check prices as you order.

The event also gives 10 percent of money raised to good causes, according to the information provided. That will matter to some people when comparing it with other nightlife options, though it does not remove the need to judge the entertainment and bar prices for yourself.

Who will enjoy this Liverpool night most?

I would recommend the event to you if you enjoy drag, loud group humour, audience participation, and a show that does not take itself too seriously. It fits birthdays, hen parties, and groups that want the person being celebrated to receive attention.

It may also suit parents or older relatives who enjoy live cabaret. One booking bought the experience as a gift for parents, who said they had the best night ever. That suggests the appeal is not limited to a young party crowd, although comfort with adult jokes and public participation still matters.

I would hesitate to recommend it if you want a quiet dinner, a refined concert, or a fixed cast with a predictable script. The acts vary, the humour can be smutty, and the style may feel cheesy rather than polished.

The wide performer mix is helpful, but it also means the night can feel uneven. One act may be exactly your taste, while another may feel like filler. That is normal for a variety cabaret and should be part of your expectations.

Booking, cancellation, and practical details

The host or greeter speaks English, and the experience is listed in English. Free cancellation is available up to 24 hours in advance for a full refund. You can also reserve now and pay later, which helps if your Liverpool plans are still moving around.

Ticket types vary, so check whether you are buying a standing ticket or a particular seating category. The VIP Party Package requires a fully paid ticket and is purchased per group.

The event is held in Liverpool, Merseyside, at Blundells Supper Club. The provided information does not list transport, parking, a food menu, or a guaranteed seating arrangement, so do not assume those details are included.

Should you book the BIG Saturday Night Cabaret?

Book it if you want a long, lively cabaret party with drag queens moving through the room, audience games, popcorn, and a rotating line-up of singers, comedians, tribute acts, and drag performers. The low listed entry price and 10 percent contribution to good causes add appeal.

Before paying, accept that the humour may be cheesy and smutty, and that drinks can be costly. For a birthday or hen party, the VIP package can make the evening feel personal and memorable, but only if your group enjoys being called onto the stage.

My practical verdict: this is a good match for an outgoing group seeking interactive nightlife, but a weaker choice for anyone expecting formal theatre or carefully controlled production. Check your ticket inclusions, plan for bar prices, and book the package only if the guest of honour wants to be part of the show.
