The Midnight Cabaret Club are back with LIV at The Avenue Blackpool!

A Saturday night out in Blackpool just got a serious upgrade as the Midnight Cabaret Club blasts and boogies their way back into town, with a brand new residency and immersive disco experience called LIV at The Avenue.

Following their phenomenally successful debut show Shhhh at Oscars bar last year, the Midnight Cabaret Club have a new venue and safe space to perform in.

They will continue to inspire and thrill guests at their new venue, The Avenue, on Blackpool’s Talbot Road, just opposite the Holiday Inn and new tram station.

The Midnight Cabaret Club is an innovative performance queer led collective, headed by Co- Artistic Directors Mykey J Young, Aish Docherty Bell and Sam Docherty Bell who have produced and created LIV at The Avenue, as an immersive and interactive Studio 54 inspired disco themed experience.

Fused with live performances and dynamic dance sequences, LIV isn’t just a show. It isn’t just a club night. It’s an immersive late-night experience — and once you step inside, you become a part of it.

Combining multi sensory and unique high energy performances from incredible live vocalists, LIV is an immersive “Cabaret Meets Club Spectacle” or as glamorous drag artist and star hostess Benny Boop calls it - a “Cab-a-Rave”!

Mykey J Young, Co Artistic Director and LIV drag performer Benny Boop said: “LIV at The Avenue is a brand-new immersive late-night experience from The Midnight Cabaret Club, where live performance, disco decadence and after-dark freedom collide.

“Inspired by the glamour, liberation and electric energy of the legendary Studio 54 era in New York City, LIV invites you into a world where performers surround you and surprises can happen anywhere!

“As the energy of the night shifts, the performance emerges and the Midnight Cabaret Club artistes take to the stage.

“The Midnight Cabaret Club at LIV stars the sublime live vocalists Sha Sha, and the brilliant Blue Valentine, disco diva DJs SHE and HER from HERHOUSE DJ Collective, stunning visual performance artists & dancers Wish D’Belle, Flyza Minelli and her trusty bird companion Fernando the Pigeon and breathtaking circus style aerial hoop performer Gorgeous Nii, mesmeric pole acrobatic performer HER, catwalk queen and fashionista style guru and photo snapper SHE, dynamic disco diva dancers Daddy Cool and Juicy JC, all whipped up to a creative caba-rave by LIVs resident host, the outrageously fabulous drag super star, the wickedly wonderful Benny Boop.

“Every Saturday night, The Avenue transforms into an immersive Studio 54 inspired experience where the atmosphere and music is full on disco classics from the golden era of dance floor decadence remixed with high energy vibes, the performances are interactive and the energy builds from the moment you walk through the door.

“Expect live vocals, spectacular choreography, iconic disco anthems, DJs and entertainment that unfolds all around you. It's a night designed to be experienced, not just watched.”
