🎭✨ A FEW LITTLE SNIPPETS FROM SATURDAY NIGHT… ✨🎭

Still not over Saturday! 😍🔥

Here’s just a couple of little snippets of what you missed at Mr Laters Cherry Pop staring Anora - T - Beech and Tay Tay Spoons! 🤩🪩 from the performances that had the room watching, laughing, cheering and probably questioning what they’d just witnessed! 😂💃

From the big numbers to the filthy little moments in between, Saturday night was proper cabaret — and we’ve got plenty more where that came from. 👀

🎤 Fabulous performers
💃 Big personalities
🔥 A little bit naughty
🍸 And one hell of a Saturday night!

If you were there, you already know… 👀
If you weren’t, you really should’ve been. 😉

Keep your eyes peeled for more clips from the night! ❤️
