# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Too Much: Camp at the Cinema presents Showgirls (1995)
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 11 Dec, 2025 at 06:30 pm
- **Event Description**: Get ready for Camp at the Cinema, a funny, engaging and insightful cinema talk and screening of the kitsch classic Showgirls (1995) with a difference.

Using the much loved sensibility of camp, Harry Clayton-Wright and Catherine Mugonyi build on their three part video series Camp in the Collection (2021) with this live cinema event that explores iconic moments on the silver screen. Using comedy, lip sync, short entertaining clips, well researched insights into cinema history and costume, the duo will entertain and educate audiences with their quest of curating the campest moments ever captured on film.

Showgirls directed by Paul Verhoeven (Robocop, Starship Troopers), returns to cinemas for its 30th anniversary in dazzling 4K.Ridiculed on its release in 1995, Showgirls was slated for its over the top performances, wild plot, nudity and ridiculous script. However, this box office flop has since been reclaimed as a LGBTIA+ community to enjoy its rightful status as a campy cult classic and exploration of American excess.

Elizabeth Berkley ditches her preppy Saved by the Bell persona to star as Nomi Malone, a young drifter with a troubled past. She hitches a ride to Las Vegas and sets out to make it big as a showgirl. Using her dancing talent, she soon finds her place in one of the glittering stage shows on the legendary Las Vegas strip, encountering Zack (Kyle MacLachlan), the ambitious entertainment director and Cristal (Gina Gershon), a dazzlingly devious star of the stage show Goddess. But how far will she go to make it to the top?

Come prepared to laugh, quip and be decadently immersed in glittering melodrama.

Dazzling showgirl attire is optional but warmly welcomed, but remember...
“There's always someone younger and hungrier coming down the stairs after you."


Camp at the Cinema is part of Too Much: Melodrama on Film, a major UK-wide season celebrating cinema’s biggest emotions and heightened dramatics from around the world. Presented by BFI Southbank and venues across the UK in partnership with the BFI Film Audience Network.
