Phoenix Knights

The act

Phoenix Knights is a Blackpool success story. Phoenix started at Funny Girls as a bar queen, one of the costumed performers who work the floor and serve the audience, and went on to train professionally before returning to the main stage. The act combines singing and dancing, and Phoenix has worked as both a male dancer-singer and a drag performer, which gives the shows real range.

In November 2026 Phoenix leads Queens of the Knights, a two-night special at Funny Girls built around reimagined diva anthems in the style of Whitney, Mariah and Celine, with gold costumes and full choreography. That gives a good sense of where the act is pitched: big voices, big songs, full-production glamour.
