The Ultimate MAGIC MIKE Tribute Brunch is a lively Friday evening cabaret event held at Canvas, a popular loft bar on Poole Hill in Bournemouth. It features a ninety-minute show of high-energy male performances inspired by the Magic Mike films, accompanied by bottomless cocktails and a party atmosphere. This page covers the event details, what visitors can expect, how to get there, ticket options, and suggestions for making a weekend of the experience.
What the Ultimate MAGIC MIKE Tribute Brunch is
The Ultimate MAGIC MIKE Tribute Brunch is an evening entertainment event rather than a daytime meal. Despite the word “brunch” in the title, the show takes place after dark and combines a cabaret performance with bottomless cocktails over roughly an hour and a half. The event draws on the style and choreography of the Magic Mike films, delivering a male revue with music, dance, and theatrical flair. It is designed for a sociable crowd looking for a lively night out, with a focus on fun and interaction rather than a quiet dining experience.
Canvas, the venue, occupies the first and second floors of a listed early-19th-century building at 45 Poole Hill, BH2 5PW. It is well known locally for its live music, DJ nights, and cocktail expertise. The loft-style layout provides an intimate setting with close views of the stage, enhancing the immersive feel of the show. The event is strictly for those aged 18 and over due to the adult content and alcohol service.

What happens at the Ultimate MAGIC MIKE Tribute Brunch
The event is built around a ninety-minute cabaret show featuring a troupe of male performers who sing, dance, and entertain in a style reminiscent of the Magic Mike films. The choreography is energetic and designed to keep the crowd engaged throughout. The show is accompanied by bottomless cocktails available during the event’s duration, making it a popular choice for groups celebrating occasions such as hen parties, birthdays, or nights out with friends.
The atmosphere is more akin to a party than a formal dinner, with the venue arranged to encourage socialising and dancing. Guests can expect loud music, dynamic lighting, and a vibrant crowd. The event offers several ticket options that influence the experience:
- Standard entry: Access to the show and bottomless cocktails, usually standing or general seating.
- Bottomless drinks packages: Extended or premium cocktail options included.
- VIP booths and table service: Reserved seating close to the stage, with dedicated service and a more exclusive setting.
Ticket holders should consult the official event listing for the exact running order and set times, as these can vary between performances. The event’s format encourages early arrival to secure preferred seating or spots near the stage.

Several bus routes serve the town centre and stop close to Poole Hill, including services from surrounding suburbs and nearby towns. The town’s taxi firms operate late into the night, providing convenient transport for post-event journeys.
Because the event involves bottomless cocktails and is strictly for over-18s, it is advisable to avoid driving. If travelling by car, use one of the town centre’s public car parks such as the Lansdowne or Westover Road car parks, both about a 10-minute walk from Canvas. Plan for a taxi or bus ride home after the event to ensure safety.
