SAT 24th FEB 8:00pm Tickets £25.50 I originally intended to call the show, “I’ll Millennial You in a Minute”, but my promoter considered the title, “off-puttingly baffling”. That’s my own chainsaw in the photo, by the way.
After his first tour-de-force, smash hit, one man show, My Life Story, Suggs is treading the boards again with this new show.
Is life that bad or have we good reason to complain about it? Are we filled with righteous anger at a world gone wrong or are we all just a bunch of whiny little brats? In short, are we spoiled? Come and watch as Byrne takes this question, turns it upside down and shakes it until the funny falls out. Go on, spoil yourself.

On 13th December 2008, the lights went on, the doors opened and Sir Ken Dodd performed a gala evening of happiness as we celebrated the opening of our new 21st century building designed by one of Liverpool City Region’s most prolific architects, Ken Martin. Now, as we head towards 2018, we are putting our plans together for what will be our 10th Anniversary Gala Autumn Season as well as a special Gala Event on 13th December 2018. Throughout 2018 we will be announcing events to celebrate the year and here are just a few things we wanted to tell you about:
BUILDING TOURS WEDNESDAYS 11:00am from 10th JAN 2018 ÂŁ5.00 (pre-book via Box Office on 0151 666 0000 or online at floralpavilion.com) To celebrate 10 years in our new home, we are bringing back our hugely popular building tours. Tickets also include post-tour tea or coffee on our Panoramic Lounge.
NAME A SEAT A seat dedication could be a unique and heartfelt gift, a special way to mark a significant anniversary or birthday, or to remember someone who loved the Theatre. As part of our 10th anniversary we are offering you the chance to personalise a part of the Floral Pavilion by naming a seat in the main auditorium, to be unveiled as part of the Anniversary Gala Event on 13th December 2018.
