Blackpool's famous burlesque show bar. An evening to remember! Early booking advised! Award Winning Entertainment and Fun with STYLE! A very popular venue which is a must! Not a gay venue, but it does get its quota of gay people, it's here mainly for the tourists to ogle at the famous lady-boys. Tables may prove a bit expensive for the average gay punter, who usually favours a standing ticket. Saturdays can often be a bit too Stag & Hen for some gay people.
