DRAG IS NOT FOR THE FAINT-HEARTED, SO BEFORE YOU BOOK… PLEASE READ <3

Hello ladies (and the ONE man a year who dares to visit!) 

My name is Linda Gold & I am the Head Drag Queen at FunnyBoyz. When you meet me, you will realise that the rumours are true… I am a ” filthy wh*re that wears cheap make-up and a bad wig ”…

BUT…

…I have a heart of Gold, hence my name – Linda Gold. I wear my heart on my sleeve, which is why I have written this open and honest welcome, from me to you, about my creation – FunnyBoyz.

I launched FunnyBoyz because many years ago, I had a stag party (yes, STAG party, I know!!) – it is hard to believe that this beautiful, voluptuous woman was a man, but… it’s true – I did indeed have a stag party. That stag party was one of the best weekends of my life, except, for one tiny part that ruined it (to this day, 20 years later) is all the group ever talks about – never the fun parts – just always that 1 tiny bad part.

The same thing happened on my 40th birthday a few years ago. My friends & I had a great weekend in Amsterdam, but one stupid little thing happened that put a ‘black mark’ on it & once AGAIN, it’s all people remember.

Over the Covid lockdown, I had time to contemplate life and decided celebrations should be “treasured for a lifetime”. This is when I decided to launch a business that not only creates the perfect celebration but also gives a vast amount of its profits back to the LGBTQ+ community. A community that suffered greatly during that period… such as Pride Groups, LGBT Charities and many more. After 2 years of planning, FunnyBoyz was finally born.  

Since our launch in April 2021, 99% of our customers say they ” have had the best celebration ” and return over and over again, leaving us 5-star reviews and making us the NUMBER 1 show in Liverpool. Whether it be a Birthday, Hen Party, Xmas Night-Out or any celebration in general, our customers love us – but for the 1% who don’t, they HATE us haha! Why? Let me tell you why… and address some of those issues, so you can make an informative decision as to whether we are right for you (and whether YOU are right for us.)

After reading, if you feel we are not your ‘ cup of tea ‘, at least I can say….

“ You have been warned!! ” haha

Let’s do this…

HONEST ANSWERS TO GENUINE QUESTIONS FROM ME,

Linda Gold – Owner, Founder and Matriarch of FunnyBoyz.

( In order of how often I’m asked the question )

1. What is the food like? (At least 50,000 times a week asked!)

HONEST ANSWER FROM LINDA:

I like the food because I love a simple dinner. Don’t come if you’re looking for 5-star a-la-carte dining. We serve food for one reason only – to keep your belly full during what can feel like 6 hours of NON-STOP award-winning entertainment. 

At some events, the customers can be with us for 7 maybe 8 hours! So yes, we serve food to ensure hungry people can eat and those who have had ‘ one too many sherries ‘ ( cough cough ) can sober up. We are not a French Cuisine 5-star restaurant we don’t claim to be ‘The Ivy’ or ‘Buckingham Palace’, it is simply pub grub. PLEASE don’t sit through an award-winning production funded to raise money for the LGBTQ community and then send me a 10-page email about Garlic Bread on a Monday when my feet are throbbing, my voice-box has collapsed and I have to start my weekday job LOL.

This happens at least once a week and the last time it happened, I may (or may not) have taken that garlic bread and shoved it through the ladies’ letterbox with a big kiss on it <3 (my lips are sealed).

If you want proper grub there are some amazing 5-star Restaurants in the area… that’s not us – I can just about boil an egg. If you want a nice simple meal to wash down your drinks whilst watching Liverpool’s Number 1 DragShow, then you are most welcome.

2. What are the drinks like?

HONEST ANSWER FROM LINDA:

Our drinks are much like many bars in the city – we are not a ‘fancy pants’ type of place. You won’t get a Cocktail with some sparkles or smoke coming off it and don’t ask for champagne – we’re not Downton Abbey, darling. What you will get is a top-notch pint for under a fiver. Our spirits cater for all price ranges – we even do cheap ‘bin ends’ from Aldi if you’re on a budget. For the connoisseurs, we also sell all the known brands.. such as Smirnoff, Gordons etc. We even do Premium Spirits if you want to be posh spice for the night!

People message me every day asking how much a gin is or how much a pint is. Let me simplify this ladies…. we all have day jobs and we do drag to make you laugh at the weekends. Whilst you emailing us asking how much it is for a splash of tonic, the queen holding the phone that day could be resuscitating a heart attack victim. ( yes, we do all have proper jobs – many of us in the NHS ) – The short version is… our drinks cater for all budgets, just like our ticket prices.. so whilst we adore entertaining you, we do not love 50 emails a day asking trivial questions. Almost every question can be answered on our ‘ frequently asked questions ’ tab here…

On the above link, you will also find what our drink packages are ( to save you a bit of money! ), and you can download our drinks menu here…

3. Do you offer refunds?

HONEST ANSWER FROM LINDA:

I hate this question but here it goes… I would love to give refunds, but let’s be honest – it goes against the point of reserving a ticket. ALL the money we take from ticket sales goes towards creating and producing the show. We pay the venue, the chef, the sound techs, the DJ, the queens, the dancers, and the security, buy the props and buy the booze (for the brunches), and order the food….this list goes on and on and on…

So, here is the problem – if you need a refund for whatever reason, maybe the bride ran off with the bridesmaid after realising she was a lesbian and the wedding is cancelled (yes this did happen) OR your garlic bread was burnt etc, the short answer is “no” and that’s not because I am a c*nt, it’s because we no longer have the money. After EVERYBODY is paid, what is left goes to fund our communities, our fundraising projects, pride events and charities.

If you think you might need to cancel or need a refund then ALWAYS take out cancellations insurance. You can get that from ANY insurance provider or Ticket Sellers for peace of mind. SKIDDLE is about a quid per person. What we can do is MOVE your tickets to ANY date or event in the future at the same price, so if the bride does run off with the bridesmaid, you can use the tickets for next year….at the lesbian wedding 

4. Do you allow Children or Animals?

HONEST ANSWER FROM LINDA:

I don’t believe our shows are for children – they contain sexual references and the props include ‘adult pleasure toys’ for comedic reference, BUT, I strongly believe this is the parents’ decision. Nobody should tell a parent how to bring up their children other than the parent. On this note, you are welcome to bring kids to the 12 o clock show and that’s where a small well-behaved dog will also be allowed. (I am referring to animals now, not the Drag Queens)

5. Is FunnyBoyz just for Gay People?

HONEST ANSWER FROM LINDA:

EVERY well-behaved person is welcome. FunnyBoyz is not classed as a GAY VENUE – we class ourselves as a safe space for women, the LGBTQ+ community and indeed well-behaved men who support and respect the space of other people. In short… if they dare grab anybody’s arse, or boobs or use any derogatory language, they will be gone faster than Phillip Schofield’s career.

6. Can we interact with the queens?

HONEST ANSWER FROM LINDA:

100% YES – this is what makes us stand out from other shows. You are not staring at a stage for hours on end like when you go to the theatre or 99% of the other ( boring ) drags shows. At FunnyBoyz, it’s all about you – not us – we are an interactive experience.. the queens will come around the tables, chat and take pics BUT, we do have one golden rule…

NEVER TOUCH THE QUEENS. It is not acceptable at FB to invade anybody’s personal space. We won’t grab your breasts…so don’t grab ours!!…. Some are real some are not, and whose are…. is nobody’s business.

7. Are the queens men or women?

HONEST ANSWER FROM LINDA:

Does it Matter? We employ men, women, trans, bisexual, gender fluid, non-binary, gender neutral and so on. We will never ask you what you have in between your legs, so, do not ask us. 

Thank you and goodnight – LECTURE OVER ( unless I am asked any more questions 50 times a day whilst wiping up poop and changing bed linen….DON’T ASK! )

I hope this has been informative, but before I go… I will make you a promise…

If you come to my show…I will work my ass off to make sure you all have the best time of your lives, however, I am not perfect.. so, if FunnyBoyz does not sound like your “ cup of tea “, Wetherspoons is just around the corner – it’s cheap, and you will never have a drag queen wave dildos in your face xx
