Liverpool: FunnyBoyz Benidorm Bingo Bottomless Brunch

Bring your party spirit, not your quiet voice. FunnyBoyz Benidorm Bingo turns an afternoon or evening in Liverpool into a loud, cheeky cabaret built around drag queens, musical bingo, audience games and singalong fun. I like the interactive drag hosting, which gives the room plenty to do, and the unlimited popcorn, a small but welcome touch during a long show. The main caution is seating: the room can feel crowded, and some seats may have poor views or high stools without backs.

The advertised price is $9 per person, though you should check exactly what your chosen ticket includes before paying. The basic experience includes drag entertainment, a glass of fizz and popcorn, while the full food and bottomless drink package requires direct contact with FunnyBoyz. That difference matters if you are booking this as a brunch rather than simply as a cabaret.

Key points to know before booking

• Two distinct time choices: The afternoon session runs from 2.00pm to 5.30pm, while the evening session runs from 6.30pm to 11.00pm.
• Musical Benidorm Bingo: This is not a quiet number-calling game. Music, drag jokes and audience participation shape the bingo section.
• Games keep you involved: Spin the Wheel can lead to twerk-offs, lip-sync battles and other challenges.
• Bottomless drinks run for 90 minutes: The afternoon drink window is 3.00pm to 4.30pm, while the evening window is 6.30pm to 8.00pm.
• Party add-ons are sold by group: The VIP Party Package is designed for birthdays, hen parties and similar celebrations, not individual purchases.
• Seating is worth checking: A poor table location can affect the show, especially if posts or other tables block your view.

What kind of night is FunnyBoyz Benidorm Bingo?

This is a drag cabaret with a party format, not a traditional brunch with a little entertainment added. The FunnyBoyz cast carries the show through comedy, songs, bingo, games and direct interaction with the room. You are not simply sitting back and watching a stage.

The Benidorm theme points toward broad holiday humour, singalongs and a knowingly tacky seaside feel. That will suit you if you enjoy drag comedy that does not take itself seriously. If you prefer polished theatre, quiet conversation or a carefully planned meal, the format may feel too loud and loose.

The advertised duration is three hours for the afternoon experience. The evening listing runs from 6.30pm to 11.00pm, giving you a longer overall time slot, although the bottomless drinks period remains 90 minutes. Check the exact session when booking, since the show schedule and drinking window are not identical.

The published score is 4.1 out of 5 from 27 ratings. That suggests a generally positive experience, but not one without faults. The strongest praise centres on the fun atmosphere and good value for group celebrations. The clearest complaints involve seating, service and drink availability.

Arriving for the 2.00pm afternoon session

The afternoon timetable gives you a useful three-and-a-half-hour block. You arrive for the 2.00pm start, with the bottomless drinks period scheduled from 3.00pm to 4.30pm.

That gap is important. You should not assume your drinks begin as soon as you enter. The event can begin with entertainment and introductions before the 90-minute drinks period starts. If you are booking the full brunch package, confirm the meal timing directly with FunnyBoyz as well.

The afternoon slot works well for a birthday, hen party or a day out that does not run late. You still get a full cabaret session, but you can finish before evening plans. It also gives you time to enjoy Liverpool afterward without trying to organise a late-night journey home.

There is a practical seating issue to consider. One attendee was placed at the back in a corner on tall stools without backs, with posts affecting the view. Staff moved the party after they asked, but you should not rely on that being possible if the room is full.

If seeing the stage clearly matters to you, ask about seating before the show begins. This is particularly sensible for anyone with mobility needs, anyone who cannot comfortably use a high stool, or anyone attending as a small party rather than part of a large booking.

The show begins with drag cabaret and musical bingo

The main entertainment comes from the FunnyBoyz drag cast. Expect jokes, audience interaction and a stage presentation built to keep the room responding. The show is designed for participation, so sitting silently at the back is not really the point.

Benidorm Bingo is the central game section. It uses music rather than relying only on numbered calls, which makes it easier for the whole room to join in. You may recognise songs, respond to the drag host and follow the game while the cabaret continues around it.

This format is good for mixed groups. You do not need specialist bingo knowledge, and the musical element gives people something to enjoy even if they are not interested in winning. It also helps the event avoid long quiet pauses.

Do not expect serious prizes or a traditional bingo-hall atmosphere. The fun comes from the performance and the room’s reaction. The available information indicates that bingo and raffle prizes can include tickets for the venue, so the reward may be more about the joke and the moment than a major prize.

The humour can be broad and dated in places. One attendee found the jokes old-fashioned and the costumes tacky. That criticism is useful rather than surprising: the show deliberately leans into camp, bright costumes and larger-than-life presentation, but not every joke will work for every audience.

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

After or alongside the bingo, Spin the Wheel adds another layer of audience participation. The listed challenges include twerk-offs and lip-sync battles, with other activities added during the show.

You might be called into the action, or you may simply watch friends and other people take part. That uncertainty is part of the appeal. The best moments are likely to come when the room responds together, rather than from carefully staged performances alone.

If you are booking a birthday or hen party, this is where a group booking can pay off. A larger party gives you a built-in audience and makes it easier to volunteer one person for a challenge. A smaller booking can still be enjoyable, but the attention may be focused more heavily on large groups.

The tone is playful, not discreet. If you dislike being singled out, tell your group before the show and let a willing friend take the lead. If you enjoy dressing up, singing loudly and making a spectacle of yourself for a few minutes, the format gives you plenty of opportunities.

The interactive style also explains why the experience can feel different from one session to another. The host, audience and size of the celebrations in the room will shape the mood. You are buying a live party, not a fixed theatre performance that unfolds exactly the same way each time.

Understanding the bottomless brunch package

The bottomless element lasts 90 minutes. In the afternoon it runs from 3.00pm to 4.30pm. In the evening it runs from 6.30pm to 8.00pm.

The listed drinks include draught lager and cider, red, white and rosé wine, prosecco, house Smirnoff vodka, house Gordon’s gin, house Bacardi and house spiced Bacardi. Cocktails listed include Sex on the Beach, Woo Woo, Cheeky Vimto, Bloody Mary, Tequila Sunrise, Blue Lagoon, Purple Rain, Mojito, Whisky Mint Julep and Aperol Spritz. Soft drinks are also included in the drink selection.

That is a wide menu for a 90-minute window, though the exact service depends on what the bar has available. A group attending in November found that the bar had run out of mixers and some alcohol, limiting the drinks they could order. I would treat the list as the intended selection, not a guarantee that every bottle, mixer or cocktail will be available at every moment.

The full course meals and bottomless drinks package must be arranged directly with FunnyBoyz. Do not assume the $9 ticket includes the full brunch. The included elements listed for the standard experience are drag queen hosts, the FunnyBoyz cabaret, a glass of fizz and unlimited popcorn.

This makes the value depend on your plan. If you mainly want the show and a lively afternoon, the basic ticket may be enough. If you want food and a timed drinks package, confirm the upgrade cost before you book and compare it with what you would normally spend on drinks during a three-hour event.

Pacing matters too. Ninety minutes is long enough to make the package worthwhile, but only if drinks are served steadily. Large groups should organise orders early and check how the bar service works. That is especially important when your party has particular cocktail or mixer preferences.

Popcorn, fizz and the food question

Unlimited popcorn is included for the entire event. It is not a replacement for a full meal, but it gives you something to snack on while the bingo and cabaret continue. For a low-cost ticket, this is a pleasant extra.

A glass of fizz is included as well. That helps create the brunch or celebration feel as soon as you arrive, even if you do not purchase the full drinks package.

The supplied details refer to course meals, but they also say you must contact the organiser directly to book the meal and bottomless drinks option. Ask exactly what the courses are, when they are served and how the package differs from the standard ticket. The available details do not specify the menu, so I would not book based on a particular dish.

This is a useful distinction for anyone with food preferences or a tight budget. The event title may suggest a complete brunch, while the included information separates the entertainment ticket from the food and drinks package. Clear confirmation saves you from arriving with the wrong expectation.

VIP party package for birthdays and hen parties

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

The package is aimed squarely at celebrations. It includes a decorated table with balloons and confetti, a goody bag, a bottle of prosecco, unlimited popcorn, one round of shots, a stage photoshoot with the drag queens and extra attention for the birthday or hen party member.

The person being celebrated can take part in the Queen’s Catwalk and receive shout-outs during the event. There is also a surprise treasure chest with a chance to join in with the cabaret shows.

One bottle of prosecco is included, with extra bottles listed at $20 each. Since the package is charged by group, work out the total cost before booking and divide it among the people attending. It can be good value for a large celebration, but less so for a small party that does not need decorations, photographs or stage attention.

The biggest benefit is not the balloons. It is the effort to give the main person a clear role in the show. If your group wants a private, low-key celebration, skip the add-on. If you want the birthday person or bride-to-be to be part of the performance, it is the more memorable choice.

Seating, service and the room itself

Seating is the main practical risk. A poor position can make an otherwise entertaining show frustrating, particularly when the room has posts, crowded tables or tall stools without backs.

One party was moved after raising the problem, which shows that asking politely may help. Still, I would ask about the seat before settling in, rather than waiting until the show is underway. This is especially important for a small booking, since large groups may receive more attention during the seating process.

The room can also feel crowded. That fits the party concept, but it can make movement and bar service less easy. If you want personal space and a clear view, a premium seat or the VIP package may be worth considering, but you should still confirm what the seating area provides.

There was also a complaint about an unpleasant smell near the bar. That appears to have been an individual bad experience, but it is worth keeping in mind when setting expectations. This is a busy party venue rather than a refined dining room.

Service can be uneven when the room is focused on large celebrations. A small party may receive less attention than a hen or birthday group with a decorated table and a package. That does not mean you will be ignored, but it does mean the event is built around group energy.

Who will enjoy this Liverpool experience?

I would recommend it most strongly for:

• Birthday groups that want public attention and silly challenges
• Hen parties looking for a drag-led afternoon
• Friends who enjoy lip-syncing, singing and audience participation
• People who want a low-cost entertainment ticket with optional drinks
• Couples or small groups who are comfortable joining a larger party atmosphere

You should think twice if you want a quiet meal, a guaranteed clear stage view or polished cocktail service. The humour can be cheeky and old-fashioned, costumes may look intentionally tacky, and the show depends on the crowd.

Wheelchair access is listed as available, and the host or greeter speaks English. If you need a particular seating arrangement, contact the organiser ahead of time rather than assuming the general accessible status will cover every need.

Free cancellation is available up to 24 hours before the event for a full refund. You can also reserve now and pay later, which helps if your group is still confirming numbers.

Is the $9 price good value?

At $9 per person, the advertised entry price is attractive for three hours of hosted entertainment, musical bingo, drag cabaret and unlimited popcorn. The included glass of fizz adds a little celebration value.

The price becomes less simple once you add food, bottomless drinks, seating upgrades or a VIP package. Since the meal and drink package requires direct booking, compare the full total rather than judging the experience by the headline price alone.

For a group, the entertainment value is strong if everyone enjoys the same loose, noisy style of fun. You are paying for a hosted party with several activities, not just a drag show. A good session can keep your group laughing without requiring a large spend on separate activities.

The weak points are service and comfort. A cheap ticket is less appealing if you cannot see the stage or if the bar cannot provide the drinks listed. Ask about seating and package availability before you commit.

Should you book FunnyBoyz Benidorm Bingo?

Book it if you want a cheeky, social drag party with bingo, music and chances to get involved. The strongest reason to go is the mix of cabaret and games. You can watch the cast, join a lip-sync battle, cheer on a friend and snack on popcorn without needing to plan the entertainment yourself.

For a birthday or hen party, the VIP package can make the occasion feel more personal, provided you are happy with public attention and group pricing. For a small party, choose your seats carefully and do not assume the full brunch is included in the basic ticket.

My advice is to contact FunnyBoyz before booking the food and drinks package, confirm the seating position, and ask what is currently available at the bar. If you accept the lively, slightly rough-around-the-edges style, this can be very good value. If you want comfort and precision, choose another Liverpool night out.
