Ring, Ring: “Hi Kim its me. Wanna go out in Blackpool? I’ve got tickets to Funny Girls in Blackpool”
“Oh Mikki, that would be great”
“Fantastic, You’re driving then Kim. Pick me up on Friday about 5pm and wear your best dress and pack a bag.”
My mate Kim has never been to Blackpool. Never, Ever! And its amazed me how someone can get to 40+ years of age and have only lived 55 miles from Blackpool but never have visited? *
For those that don’t know what Funny Girls in Blackpool is then allow me to enlighten you.
Funny Girls is a Drag Act Caberet Show Club in Blackpool now homed in the old Odean theatre on Dickson Road up near Blackpool Tower. This is classed as the Gay Quarter of Blackpool and is home to many fabulous Gay Bars and pubs around here.
You can expect, Drag Acts (well duh!), comedy, dancing, singing. It’s an all-round entertainment show from the Funny Girls Follies.
The Funny Girls Venue is fantastic and the quality of the shows is absolutely amazing and it kept us captivated all evening from the Host Zoe and her cutting wit through to the dancers and loverly floor and bar staff. Great entertainment which made us cry with laughter, sing with joy with fab food and cocktails.
It’s a great evening out in Blackpool’s gay district if you’ve never been.
Dress code is Smart casual, Fab or OTT! No tracksuits or baseball caps (I realise for some people this is smart casual, but dress like your going to court for your last burglary offense at the very least!)
Funny Girls in Blackpool’s address is:
5 Dickson Road
Blackpool

FY1 2AX
* You know Kim’s ex thought Blackpool was a dump and would never take her/go there. So they went to Rhyl instead!!! Oh, the irony!
We had a great night but a lesson learnt for me. Wearing a tight skirt and then having to get into Kim’s little sports car was amusing for Kim and a nightmare for me.
Love you Kim babes xxx
