A Must-See Comedy & Variety Show in Blackpool
Best known for winning America’s Got Talent, Paul Zerdin has gone on to perform internationally, including headlining his own show in Las Vegas. Now, he brings his award-winning act to Blackpool for a special live performance.
Located near the iconic Blackpool Tower, Viva Blackpool is one of the town’s leading venues for live entertainment, offering a vibrant and welcoming setting for visitors and locals alike.
🎭 Comedy, Variety and Live Entertainment

Whether you’re a fan of comedy, variety shows or classic live entertainment, this show offers a fun and engaging experience for all.
If you’re searching for a live comedy show in Blackpool or something unique to enjoy during your visit, this is a fantastic option.
They say don’t work with Children or Animals – but Paul does both – and then some! He’ll be joined by his unpredictable band of ‘friends’, each with their own unique way of stealing the spotlight:
💥 Sam – The fast-talking, cheeky troublemaker who always has something up his sleeve (or Paul’s). If there’s a joke to be made, he’ll beat Paul to it.
🎤 Albert – A 96-year-old with the sharpest tongue in the business and an unexpected talent for gangster rap. Don’t be fooled by his walking stick – this granddad’s got rhythm!
👶 Baby – Adorable? Yes. Innocent? Absolutely not. This pint-sized diva believes the world revolves around him… and let’s be honest, he’s probably right.
and many more…
Please note this show is suitable for ages 12+
This show is not to be missed!
And if that wasn’t enough, special guest support acts will be joining the madness, making this an unmissable night of comedy, puppetry, and pure hilarity!
