Funny Girls welcomes drag dance star Ruby Sinclair for new 'Blooming Queens' spring show
Blackpool’s iconic drag cabaret venue Funny Girls has welcomed a new star to its cast as it launches its latest spring production.
Latin dance performer Ruby Sinclair has joined the legendary venue’s line-up as part of the new “Blooming Queens” Spring Show, performing alongside Funny Girls favourites Flexi Belle and Phoenix Knights.
The new show, which runs Wednesday to Sunday evenings, also features male dancers Luke, Sebastian, Jordan and Andreas, along with resident hosts DJ Carmen and Ritzy Reynolds.
Ruby Sinclair began her career performing on the Funny Girls stage before moving to London, where she became a well-known figure on the capital’s drag scene and toured acclaimed shows across the UK.
She later appeared on Britain’s Got Talent, receiving four yeses from the judges, and went on to compete on the Italian version of the show in Rome, where she reached the final.
In 2025 she made history as the first drag queen to compete in the professional Ballroom and Latin dance world, performing in competitions including events at Blackpool’s famous Tower Ballroom and Winter Gardens.
Flexi Belle said the cast were delighted to welcome Ruby back to the venue where her career began.
“We’re thrilled to have Ruby Sinclair back where it all started – right here on the world-famous Funny Girls stage,” she said.
“She’s an incredible performer and audiences are in for a night they won’t forget.”
Ruby said she was excited to return to Blackpool and join the Funny Girls family.
“I’m so excited to be part of the iconic Funny Girls cast and to start with such a brilliant show,” she said.
“I’ve brought lots of my Latin dance style into the routines to add a bit of rhythm and energy.
“It’s fantastic to be performing in Blackpool where the entertainment scene is always buzzing and visitors come from all over the UK.”
The Blooming Queens show promises colourful costumes, high-energy choreography and a soundtrack featuring hits from artists including Kylie, ABBA, Gloria Gaynor and Shania Twain.
The production runs Wednesday to Sunday nights, with doors opening at 6.30pm, DJs from 8pm and the main show starting at 8.30pm.
