Review of Benidorm Bingo with Drag Queens at FunnyBoyz Middlesbrough
Stepping into the world of FunnyBoyz Middlesbrough feels like entering a late-night comedy club with a twist — a blend of drag diva performances, playful games, and cheesy tunes that guarantees a night full of laughter.

Plus, the free glass of fizz upon arrival and unlimited popcorn add a touch of value that’s hard to beat for the price.
One thing to keep in mind is that this event does have some limitations. It’s not suitable for wheelchair users, which might be disappointing if you’re traveling with mobility challenges.

What makes this experience stand out
One of the biggest strengths of FunnyBoyz Middlesbrough is the value for money. For just over £8, you get a three-hour show packed with entertainment, including free fizz and unlimited popcorn. This combination of affordability and fun makes it a perfect choice for group outings or solo travelers wanting a memorable night without breaking the bank.
However, it’s worth noting that the experience is loud and campy — which is exactly what many audience members love, but might be overwhelming for those seeking a quieter, more subdued evening. Also, the venue isn’t accessible for wheelchair users, so it’s perhaps not suitable for everyone with mobility concerns.
Why This Experience is Worth Considering

You’ll find that it’s perfect for group celebrations, whether it’s a hen party, birthday, or a group of friends looking to share a laugh.
This is also an experience that doesn’t take itself seriously — the performers are clearly there to entertain and amuse, and they succeed at creating a joyful, inclusive atmosphere. It’s not a refined, elegant cabaret, but rather a fun, energetic spectacle that’s best enjoyed with an open mind and a sense of humor.
