Show us what you’ve got, ‘Benahavís Has Got Talent’ fundraising evening for ACE shelter

The Benahavis community are coming together to support animals in need across the Costa del Sol in a fun and different way. A special evening of varied talent is set to raise crucial funds for local rescue pets. Do you have the talent it takes?

Unforgettable entertainment for unforgettable animals

Laughter, music, and community spirit will take over The Irishman in Benahavis for a special charity evening dedicated to helping abandoned animals. Inspired by Britain’s Got Talent but packed with plenty of local humour, this unique event brings acts together to raise crucial funds for ACE.

Acts will take to the stage to present their talents across singing, dancing, comedy, magic, and instrumentals. Adding to the fun, a hilarious parody judging panel featuring “Physho Cowell”, “Amanda Hold Them On”, and “Lurid Walsh” will deliver commentary, while audience members take on the official role of fourth judge. Hosted by Maggie, Karaoke Keith, and The Irishman team, entry tickets include a steaming delicious plate of curry and rice, plus raffle prizes and top trophies for first place.

Aspiring performers hoping to take home the crown must register in person on the night. Registrations open strictly at 6:30pm, on a first-come, first-served basis, with only 12 exclusive act spots available for brave contestants ready to face the judges.

Every ticket helps rescue dogs and cats in need

Cruelty and neglect leave hundreds of animals vulnerable each year, making charity shelter work crucial across southern Spain. All money raised throughout the evening will flow directly into ACE’s rescue operations, covering urgent veterinary bills, surgeries, daily nutrition, and international rehoming programs.
