Having first performed on stage aged just 4 years old, Mooky (aka Laci Endresz Jr) comes from 3 generations of clowns and performs in the circus ring with his brother, Mr Boo!
Blackpool has been famous as a hub for family entertainment for over 130 years, with its Pleasure Beach, historic piers, and the iconic Blackpool Tower.

Mooky’s ability to connect with both children and adults alike enhances the family-friendly atmosphere of the area and Viva Blackpool complements this by offering a diverse lineup of shows, from musical tributes to comedy nights, ensuring that there’s something for every member of the family.
Having started performing at the Blackpool Tower back in 1992, Mooky’s unique style, characterized by a blend of traditional circus clown antics and modern humor, sets a high standard for entertainment in Blackpool – the UK’s capital of fun and entertainment. Thousands have enjoyed his interactive performances involving the audience in a way that few other entertainers can match. In contrast, Viva Blackpool provides a more varied entertainment offering, from live music to stand-up comedy, broadening the cultural tapestry of Blackpool, the home of Variety entertainment.
