MHT Lanzarote – Comedy Drag Dinner Show Experience – No1

Big laughs come with a side of sequins. MHT Lanzarote combines a three-part comedy drag show with a full turkey roast dinner, making it an easy, lively night out rather than just a stage performance. I like the small, personal venue and the mix of comedy, music, costume changes, and audience interaction. I also like that the meal includes vegetarian, vegan, and other dietary options.

The main thing to consider is the style of humor. This is broad, cheeky, singalong entertainment with plenty of audience involvement, not a quiet cabaret. The show is listed as English-language, though one attendee reported that much of the evening was in Spanish, so it is worth confirming the language if that matters to you.

Key points to know before booking

• A full evening rather than a short show: Plan on about four hours for dinner, introductions, and the complete production.
• The venue feels personal: The small room puts you close to the performers, which helps the comedy but can mean more attention if you sit near the front.
• Turkey roast is the main meal: Expect soup, turkey, mashed and roast potatoes, vegetables, Yorkshire pudding, gravy, and ice cream.
• Drinks cost extra: Alcohol, soft drinks, and bottled water are available from a paid bar with table service.
• Pickup may be arranged: Transfers are an optional add-on, and you need to provide your hotel so the pickup point and time can be confirmed.
• Book ahead for popular dates: The experience is booked an average of 37 days in advance.

A glittery night at Music Hall Tavern

Music Hall Tavern, usually called MHT, offers the sort of evening that works well when you want a break from sightseeing. You arrive, have a souvenir photo taken with members of the cast, collect the printed program, and settle in for dinner before the full show gets going.

The production is built around drag comedy, bright costumes, feathers, music, and hand-sewn sequins. The performers are men playing glamorous female characters, and the humor leans toward slapstick, cheeky remarks, familiar songs, and direct contact with the audience.

I would describe the mood as family-friendly in the broad holiday sense, but not formal or restrained. The comedy can be a little daring, and sitting at the front may bring you into the action. If you enjoy being noticed, that can be part of the fun. If you prefer to watch quietly, choose a seat farther back when possible.

The small venue is one of the evening’s strengths. You are not watching a distant stage through binoculars. The performers can work the room, and the cast’s interaction gives the show a more personal feel. The trade-off is that the jokes may land close to home, especially for anyone seated near the front.

What happens when you arrive

The evening begins with a meet and greet and the souvenir photograph. This is included in the ticket, so you do not need to budget separately for the printed picture.

The photo is a useful little keepsake, particularly if this is part of a birthday, anniversary, or group celebration. It also gives the evening a clear starting point before you move into the dining area.

The printed program is included as well. It helps you follow the cast and gives you something to take home beyond the memories and, depending on your table, perhaps a few new jokes at your expense.

Staff handle the evening in a structured way. The event is designed for a large dinner service, so the meal and show are arranged as a proper production rather than a casual bar performance. That organization matters because a four-hour night can quickly become tiring if food service and entertainment are poorly timed.

The three-course roast dinner

Dinner is a genuine part of the experience, not just a token plate served while you wait for the stage lights. The meal starts with vegetable soup, followed by a traditional turkey roast.

The main course includes:

• Turkey
• Mashed potato
• Roast potato
• Seasonal vegetables
• Yorkshire pudding
• Gravy

Dessert is ice cream, a sensible finish in Lanzarote’s warm climate. The meal is filling and familiar, which suits the show’s relaxed, no-fuss character.

Food quality can vary slightly with expectations. This is dinner served to a full room, not a small restaurant tasting menu. Still, the strongest praise centers on the roast being tasty, plates being cleared, and the meal arriving as part of a well-run evening. I would book this for the combination of food and entertainment, rather than expecting fine dining.

Children can have the adult meal or choose chicken nuggets and chips if they are fussy eaters. Vegetarian, vegan, and other dietary requirements are catered for, but you should provide those details when booking rather than waiting until you arrive.

That flexibility makes MHT useful for mixed groups. One person can want a classic roast, another can need a vegan meal, and a child can prefer a simpler plate. It removes one of the usual headaches from booking a dinner show.

Comedy, music, feathers, and costume changes

The show is divided into three parts, giving the evening a clear rhythm. You get comedy, musical numbers, costume changes, and plenty of glitter rather than one long act with no pause.

The costumes are a major part of the appeal. MHT promises more than a million hand-sewn sequins, along with fabulous feathers and frequent changes. The visual side keeps the show moving, even when a joke or song does not suit your taste.

The comedy is deliberately accessible. Expect tongue-in-cheek humor, slapstick, familiar references, audience banter, and opportunities to sing along. You do not need specialist knowledge of drag performance to enjoy it.

I would not choose this show if you want subtle, serious comedy. The point is to laugh loudly, clap along, and avoid taking the evening too seriously. The cast’s energy is repeatedly praised, and the audience interaction helps turn a standard performance into a shared night out.

The performers also spend time with the audience outside the main numbers. That personal approach is why the small room matters. It is easier for the cast to spot a birthday, respond to a table, or involve someone in a quick exchange.

Again, front-row seating comes with a warning. One birthday party found the evening smoothly run and entertaining, but advised shy people not to sit at the front. That is good practical advice. If you are celebrating and want attention, sit close. If not, ask for a less exposed position.

Why the service matters

A dinner show can fail when the waiting staff are rushed or inattentive. Here, the service is part of the evening’s success. Tables receive service throughout the show, and drinks can be ordered without leaving your seat.

The bar is paid separately. You can buy alcohol, soft drinks, and bottled water, with a good selection and table service. Several people found the all-inclusive drinks option worthwhile, especially for groups that planned to drink throughout the night.

The all-inclusive option is not included in the basic $53.23 price, so compare your likely spending before adding it. If you only want one drink with dinner, paying as you go may be better. If your group expects wine, cocktails, or several drinks over four hours, the package may offer easier budgeting.

The comments about service are especially useful for anyone arranging a celebration. Staff are described as friendly, attentive, and welcoming, with specific praise for Alina and Nicky. These personal touches can make a birthday or family night feel more cared for.

Is $53.23 good value?

At $53.23 per person, the basic ticket covers a four-hour evening, a three-course dinner, the complete three-part production, a meet and greet, and a printed souvenir photo. That is a fair package if you would otherwise pay separately for dinner and live entertainment.

The value improves if you want a simple night with no extra planning. You do not need to find a restaurant, arrange a second venue, or decide what to do after dinner. The meal and show are joined into one booking.

The price is less attractive if you are mainly interested in the food. The dinner is part of the event, but MHT is first and foremost a comedy drag production. I would choose it for laughter, costumes, and atmosphere, with the roast acting as a strong bonus.

Remember to add drinks to your budget. Alcohol, soda, and bottled water are not included. Transfers are also extra, although pickup may be available if arranged with the provider.

The high rating of 4.7 from 377 ratings, with 93 percent recommending the experience, suggests that the package delivers what it promises for most people. It is not a guarantee that every joke will work for you, but it is a useful sign that the evening is consistently well received.

Getting there and planning the evening

Pickup is offered as an optional add-on. You must provide your hotel so the operator can confirm your pickup point and time. If you use the bus service, be at the stop five minutes before the scheduled pickup.

Do not assume every hotel has the same collection point. Contact Music Hall Tavern with your accommodation details and wait for the confirmed instructions. This small step prevents a rushed start to the evening.

The experience lasts about four hours, so do not schedule a late dinner, another show, or an early airport transfer afterward. The length is part of its value, but it also means you should treat this as your main evening plan.

The experience is offered in English, and confirmation is received at booking. One French-language attendee found the evening was in Spanish, so if language is important to your enjoyment, contact the provider before paying. That is especially sensible for anyone who depends on every joke being easy to follow.

Service animals are allowed, and the venue is near public transportation. Most people can take part, though you should raise any specific access or seating needs when arranging your booking.

Who will enjoy MHT most

I would recommend MHT to couples, families with older children, birthday groups, and friends who enjoy theatrical comedy. It is also a good choice when you have already spent several days on beaches, volcanic sites, or resort promenades and want a social night with a bit more sparkle.

The show works particularly well for groups. The audience interaction gives friends something to talk about, and the all-inclusive drinks option can make budgeting easier for a larger party.

Children are welcome, and the separate nuggets and chips option is useful. Still, parents should remember that the humor is cheeky rather than purely child-focused. The supplied information describes it as family entertainment, but the tone is best suited to families comfortable with broad comedy and drag performance.

I would be cautious about booking it for someone who dislikes being singled out, loud singalongs, or slapstick. The front row is not a hiding place. You can still enjoy the show from farther back, but the audience is part of the performance.

How to get the most from the experience

Tell the operator about dietary needs at booking. Vegetarian and vegan meals are available, but advance notice gives the kitchen and staff time to prepare properly.

Decide about drinks before the night begins. The paid bar has table service, which is convenient, but the final bill can rise if you order freely for four hours. For some groups, the all-inclusive option is good value. For others, a drink or two is enough.

If you are shy, avoid the front. If you are celebrating a birthday or want direct interaction with the cast, the front may be exactly right.

Allow the full four hours. The souvenir photo, dinner, three-part production, and meet and greet make this longer than a simple stage show. Arriving five minutes before a transfer is due is sensible, but do not cut it close at the venue.

Finally, keep your expectations focused on fun. The strongest parts are the laughter, costumes, crowd work, and easygoing service. It is not trying to be a refined theatre performance or a gourmet meal.

Should you book MHT Lanzarote?

Book it if you want a funny, colorful, all-in-one night with a proper dinner and plenty of audience contact. The price is reasonable for the meal, four-hour format, full production, photo, and program, especially if you value convenience.

I would skip it if you want quiet dining, subtle comedy, or complete control over your evening. The humor is broad, the bar costs extra, and the performers may involve people near the front.

For most couples, families, and groups of friends, MHT is a strong choice for a night away from the usual resort routine. Confirm the language, dietary needs, pickup details, and drinks package before booking. Then arrive ready for feathers, sequins, roast dinner, and a few jokes that may land directly at your table.
