Comedy drag in Lanzarote is not subtle. It’s an organized, family-friendly night of glam and belly laughs wrapped around a proper sit-down dinner. You get the full show-and-dinner package in about 4 hours, in English, at Music Hall Tavern (MHT).

I particularly like the way the evening is structured: you arrive, get a souvenir photo and programme, then settle in and stay for the meal before the performance. I also like the food payoff—vegetable soup, a turkey roast dinner with mash and roast potatoes, plus Yorkshire pudding and gravy, then ice cream to cool you down.

One thing to consider: drinks are not included. The bar is paid, with table service, so if you want cocktails or wine all night, budget extra on top of the $53.23 ticket.

Key things to know before you go

• Souvenir photo and programme included on arrival
• 3-course dinner served at your table (vegetarian/vegan and other needs catered for)
• Turkey roast dinner plus ice-cream dessert, with a simpler kids option (chicken nuggets and chips)
• 3-part full production show with cast interaction and audience energy
• Small, intimate feel that makes the comedy feel personal
• Paid bar runs separately from your ticket

Music Hall Tavern: a glam venue where the show feels close

Music Hall Tavern (MHT) sets the tone fast. Think sequins, feathers, and costume changes that go all-in, not just a quick performance between courses. This is the kind of place where the effort shows—literally sewn-on glitz—and the atmosphere stays upbeat from the moment you walk in.

The venue has an intimate setup, which matters more than you’d think. When you’re closer to the action, comedy lands faster. You’ll also get a better feel for facial expressions and those quick crowd moments that make drag comedy work. If you’re shy, you might want to avoid sitting too close to the front, since the performers do interact with the room.

If you want an easy holiday win—something that doesn’t require planning beyond showing up—this is that kind of night. Your ticket covers the core experience: meal, show, and even a physical photo souvenir.

The dinner that turns the ticket into a real meal

This is not a bare-bones snack-and-sit-through deal. Your table gets a proper 3-course meal as part of the experience.

Here’s what you can expect:

• Starter: vegetable soup
• Main: turkey roast dinner with mash potato, roast potato, seasonal vegetables, Yorkshire pudding, and gravy
• Dessert: ice cream (Lanzarote’s warmth is clearly part of the thinking here—cooling dessert is the plan)

What I like about this arrangement is that it buys you time. You’re not stuck waiting in the dark, and you’re not walking off a long day into a show with empty stomach. You eat first, then the comedy ramps up.

Dietary needs are handled, too. The experience says they cater for vegetarians, vegans, and other dietary requirements. So if your group isn’t eating the standard meal, you’re not stuck hunting for something else nearby mid-evening.

Kids and fussy eaters: there’s a practical option

If you’re traveling with children, the dinner plan includes a kids alternative: chicken nuggets and chips. The goal is simple—let kids enjoy the show without forcing them into a menu they won’t touch.

The comedy drag show: glitz, jokes, and a crowd that moves

After dinner, the energy shifts to performance mode. You’ll be treated to a 3-part full production show, with cast interaction built into the night. This is a comedy drag format—cheesy slapstick, tongue-in-cheek humor, and plenty of laughs—so it’s less about high-brow and more about instant fun.

The show is designed to keep you engaged. Costume changes are a standout, with major attention on outfits rather than one outfit the whole night. That kind of visual momentum matters because it keeps the pacing lively even if you’re not fully following every joke. And since the experience is offered in English, the humor framework should be accessible to English speakers.

One more real-world detail: the cast meets and greets you as part of the experience. That pre-show connection is why the night can feel friendly instead of distant. You’re not just watching; you’re part of the room.

Souvenir photo and programme: the easy win before the lights

You arrive, and there’s a built-in moment that’s great for families and couples alike: your souvenir photo and programme. It’s handled early, so you’re not scrambling mid-event trying to find the right moment.

I love this kind of included souvenir because it removes the most annoying part of tourist photos—having to figure out where to stand, whether the camera is set, and whether someone will actually take the picture. Here, it’s organized, included, and timed to the start of the event.

The programme is also useful. Even if you’re coming for laughs, a printed outline helps you follow the rhythm of the evening: who’s performing, and when the show segments roll.

Transfers and timing: plan your evening like a local

Pickup is offered, and that can make the night feel effortless. If you’re using the pickup, be at the bus stop about 5 minutes before the pick-up time. You’ll confirm your exact pickup point and time by contacting the operator with your hotel details.

This is a 4-hour experience, so it’s easiest to treat it as a core anchor on your holiday evening. You’ll want to eat earlier or plan a light daytime schedule so dinner isn’t your only big meal. If you’re visiting during hot hours, having the structure—arrive, sit, eat, and laugh—helps you avoid the usual evening drift.

Also note that the venue is near public transportation. So even if you don’t use pickup, you’re not locked in with taxis only.

Price and value: what $53.23 buys you (and what it doesn’t)

At about $53.23 per person, the big value isn’t just the show. It’s the meal plus the included photo. You’re basically paying for a complete evening: sit-down dinner, a full staged production show, and the souvenir photo included on arrival.

Where you should adjust expectations is drinks. Alcoholic beverages are paid, as are soda/pop and bottled water. The bar offers a selection and table service, which is convenient, but it’s still an extra cost.

So the smartest budgeting approach is:

• Assume your ticket covers food + show + souvenir
• Add a realistic amount for the paid bar if you plan to drink

If you want a low-cost night, keep it to water or one drink. If you want a celebration, plan on treating the bar like part of the entertainment budget.

Who this is best for (and who should think twice)

This experience fits a lot of holiday styles.

You’ll likely love it if you:

• Want a fun night out that doesn’t depend on finding the right restaurant first
• Like comedy and enjoy drag performance as light entertainment
• Need something that works for mixed groups, including kids
• Want included food that’s more than a snack

It might not be perfect if you:

• Really don’t want to spend extra on drinks (the bar is paid)
• Dislike crowd interaction and want a strictly silent, reserved atmosphere

The practical “go/no-go” checklist

Before you book, I’d check these boxes:

• You’re comfortable with a comedy-first show style
• You want dinner included rather than eating separately
• You’re okay paying extra for alcohol or soft drinks
• You’re traveling with people who will enjoy glam costumes and audience energy

If that sounds like your group, this is a strong pick. It’s the kind of night where the logistics are handled for you—meal, show, and included photo—so you can spend your energy on having fun.
