  • Mission Museum

    Showtown presents a humorous adventure around Blackpool town centre for the whole family!

    A couple of precious artefacts disappeared from the museum during a magic trick that went wrong… can you help us find them? Dust off the clues with your tickling sticks, zigzag through Blackpool in a clown car and outwit a puppet to bring them back to Showtown.

    Learn about history with a laugh along the way!

    Recommended for ages 6+.

  • Varnish: With Jonathan Mayor

    A fabulous and fractured exploration of adoption, addiction, and ego. Varnish is a solo show, starring stand-up comedian Jonathan Mayor in his dramatic debut.

    THIS SHOW WILL BE PERFORMED IN THE BLACKPOOL GRAND STUDIO 

    “I was chosen. Right from the start. My parents adopted me. They weren’t prepared to leave the quality of their offspring to chance.”

    It takes star quality to get adopted. And Jonathan Mayor has star quality.

    Join him for a star-studded audience with this prince of stage and screen, as he reminds us just how talented he is.
