The BIG Saturday Night Cabaret Show at FunnyBoyz Liverpool

Liverpool’s Saturday night drag cabaret is built for participation, not quiet theatre watching. From 6:30pm to 11pm, you can expect drag queens, singers, comedians, tribute acts, audience games, and a room that may pull you into the action before you have finished your popcorn.

I like the low advertised entry price and the easy party spirit. I also like that the show mixes professional acts with simple crowd games, so you are not relying on one performer to carry the whole evening. The main caution is that the tone can be cheesy, cheeky, and sometimes smutty, while drinks may feel expensive for a budget night out.

Key points

• Three and a half hours of entertainment: The session runs from 6:30pm to 11pm, giving you a full Saturday evening rather than a short stage set.
• Audience participation is central: Twerk-offs, lip sync battles, Spin the Wheel, shout-outs, and a Queen’s Catwalk can put you in the show.
• Unlimited popcorn is included: A small but useful extra during a long cabaret session.
• The line-up changes: Expect a mix of tribute acts, comedians, live vocalists, TV talent, RuPaul’s Drag Race stars, and local or international performers.
• Party packages add celebration extras: Decorated tables, prosecco, shots, stage photos, balloons, confetti, and special attention for the guest of honor.
• The venue may vary: The stated meeting point is Blundells Supper Club, but one booking was moved to Benidorm bar, so check the venue before you go.

What the Saturday night actually feels like

The BIG Saturday Night Cabaret Show is less a formal theatre production and more a lively drag-led night out. You are there to laugh, clap, join in, and accept that the performers may turn their attention toward your table.

That matters when choosing this event. If you want polished choreography, a fixed cast, and a quiet seat with no audience involvement, this may not be your ideal evening. If you like cheeky jokes, camp presentation, quick changes of act, and the chance to be part of the entertainment, the format makes sense.

The show is hosted at a Liverpool cabaret venue connected with FunnyBoyz and Haus of Fun. The supplied meeting point is Blundells Supper Club, marked by a large FunnyBoyz logo on the window. A drag queen hostess is due to meet you outside and welcome you in. Because the venue has changed for at least one booking, I would check the confirmation close to the date rather than walking straight to the original address.

The advertised session lasts 210 minutes. That is a useful amount of time for a Saturday night, especially at the advertised price of $9 per person. The low price should be treated as an entry point, though. Ticket types vary, and drinks, seating choices, and celebration add-ons can change the final cost.

The 6:30pm arrival and first welcome

The evening begins at 6:30pm. You meet the drag queen hostess outside, then enter the cabaret venue for the opening part of the night.

A glass of fizz and unlimited popcorn are listed among the highlights. The popcorn is a particularly practical extra because the show runs for three and a half hours. It gives you something to snack on without turning the evening into a full dinner booking.

The fizz helps set the tone quickly. This is not a slow cultural event where you need time to study the room and settle into a formal performance. You are being prepared for a party. The hostess, the drag queens, and the stage presentation all point you toward joining in.

The exact seating arrangement depends on your ticket. The listing refers to standing tickets and seat categories A, B, and C, while the VIP package includes a table in a prime area. If sitting is important to you, choose the ticket carefully instead of assuming every admission includes a reserved chair.

A changing line-up of live acts

The entertainment changes from week to week. The announced mix includes tribute acts, comedians, live vocalists who have appeared on The Voice or X-Factor, performers from RuPaul’s Drag Race, and local or international talent.

That variety is one of the strongest parts of the format. You are not paying for a single headline act whose style may or may not suit you. One section may lean toward singing, another toward comedy, and another toward drag performance. If one act is not your taste, the next part of the show may land better.

There is a trade-off. A changing bill means you cannot judge every Saturday by the same standard. One date may feel more polished than another, and the balance between comedy, music, and audience games can shift. The available ratings point to that unevenness: the overall score is 3.5 from five reviews, but one five-star booking praised the night as a great gift, while a three-star review found the show acceptable but too cheesy and smutty.

A four-star assessment was more positive about the atmosphere and the acts, calling the performers brilliant and funny, but it also raised concerns about drink prices and changing prices during the evening. That is a useful warning. The performers may be the reason you book, but bar spending can shape your final impression.

Drag queens in the room, not just on stage

The drag queens do more than perform from a distance. They mingle with the audience between acts, which gives the night its interactive feel.

This is where you should expect direct attention. The show includes twerk-offs and lip sync battles, so the line between audience and performers is intentionally thin. You may be invited to dance, sing along, or compete. The event works best if your group is comfortable with playful embarrassment and does not mind being noticed.

The style is likely to be bold and adult. One booking described the tone as smutty after the venue changed to Benidorm bar. That does not mean every moment will have the same level of innuendo, but you should not book this as a family-friendly stage show without checking the current details.

For a birthday or hen party, the attention can be a benefit. For a shy couple or a small group hoping to sit quietly at the back, it may feel like the wrong kind of surprise. I would tell everyone in your party what to expect before paying, especially if some people dislike audience participation.

Twerk-offs, lip sync battles, and Spin the Wheel

The games are not side notes. They are a major part of the night.

Twerk-offs give confident audience members a chance to perform for the room. Lip sync battles offer another route into the action for anyone who would rather mimic a song than dance. You can take part or watch other people make the attempt, but either way the games keep the energy moving between professional acts.

Spin the Wheel adds a simple prize element. The listing promises plenty of prizes, though it does not specify what they are or how often the wheel appears. Treat it as a bit of party fun rather than a reason to calculate the financial value of your ticket.

The Queen’s Catwalk is especially relevant for celebration groups. In the VIP Party Package, the birthday or hen party person takes part in the catwalk and receives extra shout-outs. There is also a surprise treasure chest with a chance to take part in the cabaret show. These features turn a general show into a more personal event for the person being celebrated.

The risk is that some of the comedy depends on audience involvement. If you dislike being called out, the same feature that makes the night memorable for one person may make it uncomfortable for another. You can still enjoy watching, but do not expect a fully hands-off performance.

The VIP party package for birthdays and hen parties

The VIP Party Package is sold per group and must be added to a fully paid ticket. It does not replace admission. This distinction matters because buying the package alone will not get you into the show.

The package includes:

• A decorated table with balloons and confetti
• A goody bag
• A bottle of prosecco
• Unlimited popcorn
• One round of shots, one per person
• A stage photoshoot with the drag queens
• Shout-outs and fuss for the birthday or hen party person
• The Queen’s Catwalk
• A surprise treasure chest opportunity

Extra prosecco bottles are listed at £20 each. The package is aimed at groups marking a birthday, hen party, or even a divorce. It is not subtle, and that is the point. The decorated table and stage photos give the group a visible role in the evening rather than leaving the celebration to chance.

The value depends on group size and how much you would otherwise buy. A bottle of prosecco, shots, decorations, photos, and special attention can add up, but you should compare the package price with your normal party spending before booking. The supplied details do not give the package price, so I cannot call it a bargain on its own.

If you are booking for a celebration, I would contact the group first about the guest of honor and the planned shout-outs. The package promises special treatment, but the exact timing and style of the stage moments are not specified.

Drinks and the real cost of the evening

At $9 per person, the basic advertised price looks attractive for 210 minutes of entertainment. It is especially appealing if you want a full evening without paying theatre prices.

The bar is where you need to stay alert. One booking found a bottle of wine priced at £29.95 and a can of cider at £6. Another issue was that prices appeared to change during the evening and had to be questioned. These details do not make the show poor, but they do affect value.

I would set a firm drinks budget before arrival. Ask for the price before ordering, particularly if you are buying a bottle for a group. The included fizz and popcorn give you a starting point, but the basic ticket does not appear to cover a full evening of drinks.

This is also why the $9 figure should not be used as your total budget. Your final cost may include a different ticket category, seats, drinks, or a VIP package. The event can remain good value if you mainly want entertainment and limit bar spending. It becomes less attractive if you expect inexpensive drinks and add several extras.

Venue changes and why they matter

The stated meeting point is Blundells Supper Club, with a large FunnyBoyz logo outside. The arrival system sounds simple: find the logo, look for the drag queen hostess, and enter with the group.

But venue changes have happened. One booking was moved to Benidorm bar, and the change affected the customer’s view of the night. The new setting contributed to an expectation of a cheesier, more adult show rather than a polished cabaret production.

I would check the venue name, entrance, and start time before leaving for the event. This is especially important if you are arranging taxis, meeting friends separately, or booking dinner nearby. The experience is in Liverpool, but the exact room can influence the mood, seating, and sense of occasion.

The venue is listed as wheelchair accessible. That is useful, though the information does not give details about accessible seating, toilets, or the route from the entrance. If you need a particular arrangement, ask before booking rather than relying only on the general accessibility label.

Who will enjoy this show most

I would recommend the show to you if you want a social night with plenty of noise, comedy, drag performance, and chances to join in. It suits groups of friends, birthday parties, hen parties, and people who enjoy camp entertainment without needing every act to feel like a major touring production.

It also works as a gift when the recipient likes drag and audience participation. One booking bought the show for parents, who reportedly had a wonderful night. That suggests the format is not limited to young party groups, though personal taste matters more than age.

You may want to choose another event if you need refined theatre, predictable content, low-cost drinks, or a quiet seat away from the action. The tone can be cheeky and smutty, and the quality may vary with the weekly line-up.

The show is in English, and the host or greeter speaks English. That is worth considering if some members of your group are not comfortable following fast jokes or audience instructions in English.

Booking flexibility and practical details

You can cancel up to 24 hours before the activity for a full refund. The reserve-now-and-pay-later option lets you hold a place without paying immediately, which is useful for a group still checking everyone’s availability.

The session is listed as 6:30pm to 11pm, but you should check the date before booking because availability controls the starting time. The total duration is 210 minutes.

All ticket types vary, so read the ticket description carefully. The basic admission, seated categories, standing tickets, and VIP add-ons do not offer the same experience. A group that wants a table, photos, and a celebration moment should not assume those features come with standard entry.

Haus of Fun is the named provider. The event is delivered in English and is listed as wheelchair accessible.

Should you book the BIG Saturday Night Cabaret Show?

Book it if you want an inexpensive, high-energy Liverpool night where the audience is part of the entertainment. The combination of drag queens, live acts, comedy, unlimited popcorn, games, and a long Saturday session offers good value at the advertised starting price, provided you keep an eye on drinks and ticket extras.

For a birthday or hen party, the VIP package may make the event feel more special, especially with the decorated table, prosecco, shots, stage photos, and Queen’s Catwalk. Check the extra cost first.

I would skip it if you are hoping for a polished, serious cabaret show or dislike smutty jokes and public participation. Also confirm the venue before setting out, since a move from Blundells Supper Club to Benidorm bar can change the feel of the evening. For the right group, this is a playful party night. For the wrong group, it may feel loud, cheesy, and more expensive than the entry price suggests.
