The Full Monty – Charity Cabaret & Comedy Evening
Ballyrags is turning up the heat this October with a one-of-a-kind fundraiser guaranteed to get the whole room buzzing. The Full Monty – Charity Cabaret & Comedy Night promises an evening packed with entertainment, bringing together musicians, comedians, dancers and performers for a spectacular night of variety and fun.
This isn’t just a show – it’s a celebration with purpose. Every act, every laugh and every song is helping to raise money for humanitarian aid missions, so while the performers are giving it their all on stage, the audience can enjoy knowing that they’re also making a real difference.
Get ready for a night of music, dance, danger, comedy, chaos and choreography as Ballyrags presents The Full Monty – Charity Cabaret & Comedy Night. This special one-off event will bring together some of the Island’s most exciting performers for an evening of big laughs, live music, dazzling displays and unforgettable entertainment – all in aid of humanitarian aid missions.
The show takes place at the Ocean View Hotel, Shanklin on Saturday 25th October. Doors open at 7pm, and from the moment you step inside you’ll be treated to a variety-packed night of talent and energy. Expect soulful live music from Jim Baylis and upbeat grooves from DJ Ronnie Pakes, alongside the razor-sharp comedy of Matt Gifford, the pun-tastic Jack Clay, and Vectis Radio’s Martyn Bonner. Adding spectacle and flair will be stunning routines from Embracing Dance and a thrilling showcase by Luke Lamont and Azaria Wood of Wild Woods Events, with even more surprises throughout the evening.
Guiding you through the night is your host, Toby Brown, who’ll keep the fun flowing and the energy high. And of course, no evening like this would be complete without a grand finale – the show will close with a full-scale, cheeky, and unforgettable performance of The Full Monty.
Every ticket sold goes directly towards supporting humanitarian aid missions. So come along, enjoy a night of laughter, live entertainment and community spirit, and help us raise money for an important cause.
