Drag comedy and dinner sounds like a plan. MHT is a comedy drag dinner show in Lanzarote that runs in English, with live singing, dance routines, and comedy that keeps moving all night. I like the way the show blends big stage performance with a real meal you can enjoy without feeling rushed.

The big draw for me is the Brand-New Summer 2025 production, plus the classic singalong-style energy that fans keep coming back for. You also get a meet-and-greet with the cast and a proper three-course dinner, then two show segments with a short break to top up drinks.

One possible drawback: the venue is on the first floor and there’s no lift, with 17 steps to climb. If you’re traveling with mobility needs, it’s worth planning ahead.

Key takeaways

  • Brand-New Summer 2025 production brings fresh jokes and stage moments, not a stale rerun
  • English-language show makes it easy to follow every punchline
  • Meet-and-greet with the cast adds a personal start before the main production
  • 3-course homecooked dinner is included, with clear vegetarian and kids options
  • Table service all night means you can keep watching while you order drinks
  • 17 steps, no lift matters if you need step-free access

What You’re Really Buying at MHT (Comedy Drag + Dinner, in English)

Lanzarote: MHT - Music Hall Tavern - Comedy Drag Dinner Show - What You’re Really Buying at MHT (Comedy Drag + Dinner, in English)
MHT is the kind of night that works because it’s built for fun, not formality. You show up, get seated, eat, laugh, sing along, and keep your energy up with drinks brought to your table. It’s drag entertainment with comedy at the center, delivered in English, so you’re not stuck playing guessing games during the jokes.

The show’s format is also smart for a holiday. You get a warm-up pre-show, then the full production comes in two parts with a short intermission (15 minutes) for drinks and resets. That rhythm helps if you don’t want an evening that feels like one long sit.

And the standout detail for me is that it’s not just a performance. It’s a full evening package: cast meet-and-greet, a proper three-course meal, and a staged show with live vocals and dance.

Where the Show Happens: Music Hall Tavern, La Peñita (and the 17-Step Reality)

Lanzarote: MHT - Music Hall Tavern - Comedy Drag Dinner Show - Where the Show Happens: Music Hall Tavern, La Peñita (and the 17-Step Reality)
MHT takes place at the Music Hall Tavern – MHT, inside Centro Commercial La Peñita on Avenida de las Playas in Puerto del Carmen. You’ll need to show your voucher at reception.

Here’s the practical issue: it’s on the 1st floor, and there’s no lift. The venue notes call out 17 steps, so if you’re traveling with a pram, wheelchair, or limited mobility, plan around that. The good news is the operator says dietary requirements and comfort needs can be accommodated if you flag them in advance.

If you’re driving or walking in from town, plan to arrive early enough to handle the stairs calmly. Don’t treat it like a quick walk-in event.

Check-in and the Flow of the Evening (What Happens Before the Big Stage Moments)

Lanzarote: MHT - Music Hall Tavern - Comedy Drag Dinner Show - Check-in and the Flow of the Evening (What Happens Before the Big Stage Moments)
Your evening starts when you check in at reception with your voucher. After that, the night shifts into show mode fast.

The schedule is built like this:

  • Meet & Greet with the cast
  • Pre-show entertainment, as the room gets warmed up
  • Three-course dinner served while the evening gears up
  • Full production show, split into two parts
  • 15-minute intermission for drinks and a breather
  • Then it’s back for the second show segment

The key for your comfort is timing. The whole experience runs about 4 hours, and the stated show window is 7:00 PM to 11:00 PM. That gives you a real evening plan without eating up your entire night.

The 3-Course Dinner: Included, Homecooked, and Easier Than You Think

Lanzarote: MHT - Music Hall Tavern - Comedy Drag Dinner Show - The 3-Course Dinner: Included, Homecooked, and Easier Than You Think
This is one reason MHT feels like good value. Your ticket includes a three-course meal, and it’s described as homecooked.

What you can expect:

  • Starter: vegetable soup
  • Main: turkey roast dinner with turkey, roast and mashed potatoes, seasonal vegetables, and gravy
  • Dessert: ice cream Vienetta

Vegetarian option is specified too: a bean-based burger, with options including potatoes and vegetables.

For kids, there’s a choice: the same meal as adults or a chicken nuggets meal.

So what does that mean for you on holiday? It means you’re not trying to hunt down dinner at the same time you’re trying to enjoy a show. You also don’t have to worry about whether the meal will be something you can actually eat. It’s planned, served, and part of the experience.

One small reality check: the meal is included, but drinks are not. I’d go in ready to spend a little extra if you plan to keep ordering premium cocktails or wine.

The Show Itself: Live Singing, Dance, Comedy, and Stage Tech

Lanzarote: MHT - Music Hall Tavern - Comedy Drag Dinner Show - The Show Itself: Live Singing, Dance, Comedy, and Stage Tech
This is a comedy drag dinner show, so expect three things working together: live vocals, comedy timing, and dance. The info spells out live singing, electrifying dance routines, and side-splitting comedy, performed in English.

The production is also being refreshed for the Summer 2025 run. That matters. If you’ve seen drag shows before, you don’t necessarily want the same exact routine every year. The “brand-new production” promise is basically your signal that the staging and set pieces have been updated for the current season.

From what’s been described, the visuals are a big part of the fun too. LED screens and projections are used to enhance individual acts and support the comedy beats. That kind of stage tech helps the jokes land faster because the show is guiding your attention.

Table Service and Drinks: How to Budget Without Missing the Fun

Lanzarote: MHT - Music Hall Tavern - Comedy Drag Dinner Show - Table Service and Drinks: How to Budget Without Missing the Fun
Drinks are paid, but the important thing is how you get them. The show includes table service all night, so you shouldn’t need to leave your seat to order. That’s a big deal in a venue like this, where you want to stay in the energy of the performance.

A couple practical notes:

  • There’s a paid bar with a wide selection of drinks.
  • Since service runs continuously, you can pace your drinks instead of doing a big pre-show stock-up.

About the cost: your base ticket includes dinner, so your “extra spend” is mostly drinks. If you want to control your holiday budget, set a drinks limit before you arrive. If you’re more of a “cheerful sips all evening” person, you’ll probably be happier budgeting more upfront.

Also consider your drink option at booking time. One goer noted the all-inclusive drink approach was better value when purchased earlier, compared with upgrading on the night. I’d treat that as a heads-up: if there’s an all-inclusive choice, check the price difference while you still have control.

Family-Friendly Fun With a Grown-Up Edge (Know What You’re Walking Into)

Lanzarote: MHT - Music Hall Tavern - Comedy Drag Dinner Show - Family-Friendly Fun With a Grown-Up Edge (Know What You’re Walking Into)
MHT positions itself as a family-friendly adventure with laughter, sparkle, and nonstop entertainment. At the same time, the tone includes moments that can be slightly rude.

The useful way to think about this: it’s not described as vulgar, but it’s not meant to be squeaky-clean either. If you’re bringing teenagers, it’s probably fine as holiday fun. If you’re traveling with very young kids, you’ll want to judge based on your family’s comfort level with comedy that has innuendo.

You’ll also appreciate that the whole thing is in English. That cuts down on the usual “we’re not sure what that joke meant” vibe.

Seating, Crowds, and Table Logistics (The Small Stuff That Can Matter)

This kind of show is always a trade-off: big atmosphere usually means tighter space. Some people have flagged that tables can feel crowded and that there can be lots of people in a small room.

Here’s how to handle it:

  • If you’re tall or easily annoyed by narrow aisles, arrive early and check where your table sits relative to the stage.
  • If you’re sensitive to noise, understand this is a lively, singing-and-dancing environment. You won’t get a quiet corner experience.

Also remember: with table service all night, staff are constantly moving with drinks. That’s convenient, but it’s also part of the room’s motion.

Accessibility and Comfort: Steps, Prams, and Getting Help

Lanzarote: MHT - Music Hall Tavern - Comedy Drag Dinner Show - Accessibility and Comfort: Steps, Prams, and Getting Help
No lift, 17 steps, and a first-floor venue. That’s the headline for accessibility here.

The good news is the operator specifically asks you to advise about wheelchairs, prams, or any medical issues so they can make the night as comfortable as possible. If you need support, contact them early and don’t leave it for the day of the show.

For most people, the comfort issue is simpler:

  • Wear shoes you’re okay with for stairs.
  • Dress for a warm venue and a long sit that still feels like a party.

Who Should Book MHT (and Who Might Want a Different Night)

Lanzarote: MHT - Music Hall Tavern - Comedy Drag Dinner Show - Who Should Book MHT (and Who Might Want a Different Night)
This show is best for you if you want:

  • Comedy with live singing and dance
  • An evening where you’re not stuck doing dinner in advance
  • An English-language production that doesn’t require translation
  • A holiday activity that feels social, not stuffy

It may be less ideal if:

  • You need step-free access to avoid stairs
  • You hate comedy with innuendo
  • You’re hoping for a quiet, low-energy evening

If you’ve been to other drag shows on other islands, think of MHT as the full package: dinner + performance + constant entertainment. The staging sounds like it’s built to keep people laughing and watching, not just standing and clapping at the end.

Smart Tips to Make Your Night Smoother

A few things that will help you get the most out of those 7:00 to 11:00 hours:

  • Arrive with time for check-in and stairs. Don’t make it a last-minute sprint.
  • Set expectations for drinks: dinner is included, drinks are not.
  • If you have dietary needs, flag them ahead of time so the vegetarian and kids options are handled smoothly.
  • If you’re celebrating something special, let them know in advance (they ask you to do this).
  • If you’re worried about table crowding, be ready to focus on your stage view rather than expecting lots of personal space.

And if you like comedy that keeps you engaged with constant change—songs, costumes, and jokes—you’ll probably have a really good time.

Should You Book MHT in Lanzarote?

I’d book MHT if you want a fun, English-language night that combines a real three-course dinner with a full drag comedy stage show. The value is strongest for people who want dinner handled for them and don’t want to spend the whole evening hunting for restaurants.

Skip or reconsider if stairs are a deal-breaker for you, or if you dislike comedy with a slightly adult tone (even when it’s said to be not vulgar). Also, if drinks are a must for your budget, look at what’s included with your ticket and whether an earlier drink package purchase saves money compared with upgrading later.

If you’re the type who wants your holiday calendar to include one loud, happy, laugh-along night, this one fits.
