All about - Crissy Rock Benidorm

Crissy came on holiday to Benidorm over 16 years ago and fell in love with it.  Valentines is actually where it all first started for her in Benidorm, when on a night out she offered to do a cabaret slot for them so they could see her show, she was offered 3 nights a week and every night was standing room only after that the rest as they say is history.  Since then for Crissy Rock, Benidorm has become home from home with regular appearances for several months each year.

2023 - Crissy is in Benidorm throughout the year but will be back in the UK on and off to fulfil other work commitments.
