THE HANGOVER BRUNCH | Benidorm Bingo & Drag Queens

The main event here is not a quiet brunch with a drag act in the corner. It is a full-room cabaret built around Benidorm bingo, musical numbers, dance-offs, twerk-offs, and lip-sync battles. The queens need your participation, so come ready to sing, laugh, and possibly find yourself on stage.

I like the mix of games and live performance, since it keeps the three hours moving. I also like the practical party extras: unlimited popcorn comes with every ticket, while selected packages add drinks, food, shots, decorations, and stage photos. The main consideration is that ticket inclusions differ, so you need to check your package before paying.

• Benidorm bingo with musical numbers: Expect bingo with a cabaret twist, plus singing and dance-offs.
• Spin the Wheel participation: The wheel can lead to twerk-offs, lip-sync battles, and other audience challenges.
• Ninety minutes of drinks: Standard options include fizz and Bucks Fizz, while upgraded tickets can include Prosecco, wine, beer, and cocktails.
• Unlimited popcorn and prizes: Every ticket includes seated entry and unlimited popcorn, with prizes worked into the games.
• Useful celebration add-on: The VIP Party Package adds decorations, a goody bag, a bottle of Prosecco, shots, photos, and special attention for the birthday or hen party.
• English-language, accessible entertainment: The event lasts three hours, is hosted in English, and is wheelchair accessible.

A Three-Hour Brunch Built for Participation

The Hangover Brunch is best understood as a party show with food and drinks, not as a traditional brunch followed by entertainment. The drag queens lead the room, but the audience supplies much of the energy through singing, shouting, dancing, and game participation.

That format suits a birthday, hen party, divorce celebration, or simple afternoon out with friends. You do not need to be a bingo expert. The familiar game gives the event a structure, while the cabaret keeps it loose and silly.

The advertised price is $4.72 per person, but take that figure as a starting point rather than the full picture. Different ticket types include different things, and upgraded drinks or party extras cost more. Check the exact package carefully before comparing the price with other brunch events.

Benidorm Bingo Starts the Show

The first major section is Benidorm bingo. This is not presented as a silent game with everyone staring at a card. Musical numbers and dance-offs are built into it, so the bingo acts as a launchpad for the cabaret.

I like this setup because it gives shy members of your group an easy way into the event. You can begin by following the game, then join in with the singing or cheering as the room warms up. If you want a calm meal with only occasional stage interruptions, this may feel too active. If you want a shared party, the format makes sense.

Prizes are part of the appeal. They give the games a small competitive edge without making the afternoon depend on serious gambling or complicated rules. The supplied information does not specify the exact prizes, so you should see them as a fun extra rather than a reason to book on their own.

The show is hosted in English. That matters because much of the comedy, audience banter, and game instruction depends on understanding quick comments. English speakers should find the format easy to follow, while anyone less confident in English may miss some of the jokes.

Spin the Wheel Turns the Crowd Into the Cast

After the bingo section, Spin the Wheel adds a more unpredictable layer. The listed challenges include twerk-offs and lip-sync battles, along with similar audience games. This is where the experience moves furthest from a meal with entertainment and becomes participatory cabaret.

You can expect the queens to encourage people to take part, but the information provided does not promise that every person will be brought on stage. If you are booking for a friend who loves attention, this can be a great way to make the afternoon personal. If someone in your group dislikes being singled out, agree in advance on how far they want to join in.

The wheel also helps break up the afternoon. Three hours can feel long if a show uses one repeated routine, but the changes from bingo to singing, challenges, and lip-syncing give the event several gears. Some sections will depend on the mood of the room, so the exact balance of games and cabaret may vary.

This is also the part where you should expect the most noise and direct interaction. The format is playful rather than polished theatre. Its success depends on the room joining the joke.

Drag Queens, Singing, and a Room That Works Together

The central attraction is the drag queen cabaret. Names connected with the event include Sandy and Grace. Sandy and the gang are described as entertaining the room from the start, while Grace is credited with keeping the afternoon lively and making sure people were involved.

Other staff names connected with a successful booking include Clare, the hostess, and Kenny, the barman. Those details matter because a party brunch relies on more than the performer. Clear hosting and attentive bar service help keep food, drinks, games, and audience action moving at the same time.

The entertainment is broad and deliberately cheeky. You should expect singing, laughs, audience interaction, dance-offs, and playful challenges rather than a serious drag theatre production. The best approach is to treat the event as a social show. Sit back for the numbers, but join in when the room is asked to sing or respond.

I would not choose this for a quiet catch-up where conversation is the priority. The performers are there to hold your attention, and the volume and interruptions are part of the point. For a birthday or hen party, that same energy is often the reason to go.

Ninety Minutes of Drinks, With Important Ticket Differences

A key part of the afternoon is 90 minutes of bottomless drinks. The standard description includes fizz and Bucks Fizz. Upgraded tickets can include Prosecco, wine, beer, and cocktails.

That distinction is important. Bottomless does not mean every drink is available with every ticket. Check the name and details of your chosen package, particularly if cocktails or beer are part of your plan. The advertised package may also change the value considerably, so compare the drink list with the price before booking.

Food is another part of the experience, though the exact menu is not supplied. People connected with the event praised the food, and one booking specifically enjoyed a roast dinner. You should confirm the current food offering if the meal is a major reason for choosing this brunch.

The strongest food-related comments describe it as both tasty and generous. That makes the experience more than a drinks session, especially for an afternoon celebration. Still, I would not assume a particular roast or dish will be served on every date without checking.

The 90-minute drinks period is shorter than the full three-hour event. You should expect the show to continue after the bottomless drinks window ends. Pace yourself, eat properly, and remember that the entertainment remains the main attraction once the drinks service finishes.

Popcorn, Prizes, and the Basic Ticket

Every ticket includes seated entry and unlimited popcorn. That is a small but useful inclusion. Popcorn gives you something to snack on during the games and helps the basic ticket feel like more than admission to a show.

The ticket types do not all include the same extras. Some may focus on seating and the core entertainment, while upgraded options add a wider drinks selection or other benefits. The supplied details do not spell out every difference between seat categories, so read the selected ticket description closely.

This is where the low advertised price needs context. At $4.72 per person, the headline amount looks exceptionally cheap, but the final value depends on what your ticket includes and whether you add drinks or celebration extras. For a fair comparison, count the seating, popcorn, entertainment, food if included, and 90-minute drinks period together.

If your group mainly wants the drag show and games, the basic ticket may be enough. If you want a full birthday setup or a broader bar selection, the upgrade can make more sense.

The VIP Party Package for Birthdays and Hen Parties

The VIP Party Package is sold per group, not per person. It is an add-on and is valid only when purchased with a fully paid ticket, either standing or seats A, B, or C. Buying the add-on without a valid ticket will not be accepted.

For a celebration, the package includes:

• A table in one of the best areas of the venue
• Balloons and confetti
• A goody bag
• A Queen’s Catwalk appearance for the hen or birthday person
• Shout-outs and extra attention during the event
• A surprise treasure chest with a chance to take part in the cabaret shows
• One bottle of Prosecco
• Unlimited popcorn for the event
• A stage photoshoot with the drag queens
• One round of shots, one per person

The package is a good fit if the guest of honour wants to be part of the show. The Queen’s Catwalk and stage photos create a clear focal point for the party, while the table decorations make it easier for the group to gather together.

There is one practical catch: only one bottle of Prosecco is included, and extra bottles cost £20 each. Since the package is paid per group, work out the total cost among your friends before booking. It is designed for a group celebration, not for a solo visitor who wants a small add-on.

The surprise treasure chest may offer another chance to join the cabaret, but the exact activity is not specified. Treat it as an optional bonus, not a guaranteed private performance.

Who Will Enjoy This Most

I would recommend this to people who want their meal to come with a lot of noise, jokes, music, and direct involvement. It is especially suited to birthdays, hen parties, groups of friends, and unusual celebrations such as a divorce party.

The event also works for a mixed group when some people want to perform and others prefer to watch. Bingo provides a familiar starting point, while the queens carry the show for anyone who would rather stay at the table.

You should think twice if you want:

• A quiet brunch
• A formal meal
• A serious theatre production
• A fixed, predictable running order
• An afternoon where nobody is encouraged to join in

The comedy is adult in tone, given the twerk-offs, shots, and cheeky cabaret style. The information provided does not state a formal age limit, so check the current booking conditions if that matters to your group.

Location, Timing, and Practical Points

The experience is listed in Merseyside, with a three-hour duration. References connected with the event place it within reach of Liverpool, so check the exact venue address and start time for your chosen date before making travel plans.

Starting times vary, and availability needs to be checked when booking. Allow enough time to arrive before the show begins, since the bingo, drinks, and introductions are designed to work as a group activity from the start.

The host and greeter speak English. The experience is wheelchair accessible, which is useful for mixed groups, though you should still confirm any specific seating needs when booking.

Free cancellation is available up to 24 hours in advance for a full refund. You can also reserve now and pay later, which helps if you are arranging a group and do not want to collect the full amount immediately.

What the Strongest Praise Tells You

The most consistent praise focuses on three things: the entertainment, the food, and the way the staff help the group enjoy the afternoon.

Sandy is named as a performer who entertained from the beginning. Grace is singled out for her fun presence and audience involvement. Clare and Kenny are also praised for helping with hosting and bar service. These names suggest that the atmosphere depends on a team, not only on the headline drag queen.

Food receives repeated approval, including a specific mention of a roast dinner and several comments calling it delicious or excellent. That is useful if you are choosing between a simple drag show and a meal-based celebration.

The event also works well for milestone birthdays. A 60th birthday group enjoyed the combination of food, drinks, and comedy, while another booking described the afternoon as a memorable birthday celebration. You should still choose the right ticket, since the VIP extras are what make the celebration feel specially arranged.

The overall rating is 4.5 from 15 ratings, which points to a strong response but not a huge sample. I would take it as encouragement, not a guarantee that every performance will suit every group.

My Verdict: Book It for a Big, Silly Afternoon

Book The Hangover Brunch if you want drag queens, bingo, drinks, food, and games to share with a lively group. The strongest value comes from choosing the package that matches your plans, then making full use of the singing, dance-offs, and audience challenges.

For a basic afternoon, unlimited popcorn, seated entry, prizes, cabaret, and the core games give you plenty to do. For a birthday or hen party, the VIP Party Package adds the table position, decorations, photos, shots, and special treatment that can make the occasion feel personal.

I would skip it if you want a calm brunch or a tightly scripted stage show. This is a loud, playful, audience-led afternoon. Go in ready to take part, check exactly which drinks and food your ticket includes, and it should deliver the kind of ridiculous shared memories that group celebrations are built around.
