MHT Lanzarote – Comedy Drag Dinner Show Experience – No1
A night of sequins, laughs, and dinner. If you want something more fun than another “walk and watch the sunset” evening, this comedy drag show in Lanzarote is a solid pick. You’ll get a sit-down 3-course meal, then settle in for a 3-part production show in a small, intimate venue that feels close to the performers.
What I like most is the straightforward value: you’re paying for dinner plus show, not just tickets. I also like that the food setup is built for variety, including vegetarian and vegan options and kid-friendly choices like chicken nuggets and chips.
One possible drawback is language. English is listed, but at least one person reported that the show was mostly in Spanish, so if you’re very language-sensitive, it’s worth checking details when you book.

Dinner-Show Formula That Actually Works in Lanzarote

This is a classic holiday pairing done the practical way: eat first, then laugh your way through a drag comedy production. In a place like Lanzarote, where evenings can blur together, I like that this gives you a guaranteed start time and a set experience rather than an open-ended plan.
The setting is part of the appeal. Reviews highlight a small, close-up feel, and that matters because drag comedy lands better when the performers can read the room. You’re not stuck in a huge dark hall where you feel anonymous.
Also, the whole concept is clearly family-friendly in tone. One parent even went with a 13-year-old and said it worked well, which tells me the humor is more cheeky slapstick than anything too edgy.
The 3-Course Meal: What You’ll Eat and Why It’s Worth It

The dinner service is built around comfort food with a proper roast centerpiece. You start with vegetable soup, then move into the main course: a turkey roast served with mash potato, roast potato, seasonal vegetables, Yorkshire pudding, and gravy. That is a very British-style plating, and it’s the kind of hearty meal that makes the show feel like a full evening out.
Then comes dessert: ice cream. It’s a simple finish, but it fits the idea of cooling off after a warm meal in a canary-islands evening.
If you’re traveling with kids, the setup is easier than many dinner shows. Children have options: they can choose the same meal as adults, or if they’re picky eaters, they can go with chicken nuggets and chips instead.
You’ll also want to know the dietary side is taken seriously. Vegetarian and vegan meals are catered for, plus other dietary requirements. If you have a specific restriction, plan to communicate it when you book so the kitchen can match you to the right option.
The Show Itself: Glitz, Comedy, and Close-Up Energy
The production runs as a 3-part full production show, so it’s not just one sketch after another. You’re looking at costume changes, performance rhythm, and staged moments designed to keep the pace moving across the full evening.
The drag cast is the headline, and it’s very much a comedy-forward approach. Expect tongue-in-cheek humor, fast jokes, and a sense that the performers want you involved. Multiple people praised the queens for being funny and talented, and that they stayed generous with their time—meaning the show isn’t rushed past.
One thing I’d call out is crowd interaction. Since the venue is small, the acts can connect more directly with the front rows. If you’re shy, you’ll probably prefer to avoid the very front, because at least one audience tip suggested that front seating can bring you into the moment more often.
Costume changes are a big deal here too. People specifically highlighted how impressive the outfit transitions were, which usually takes a lot of backstage coordination. When that’s smooth, the show feels like one cohesive night rather than a series of interruptions.
Pre-Show Touches: Souvenir Photo and Meet-and-Greet Time

This experience doesn’t just start when the curtain goes up. You’ll arrive, be seated, and get a souvenir photo and program before the event begins. That’s a small thing, but it matters when you’re on holiday with limited time—having a ready-to-use memento saves you from hunting for photos later.
You’ll also have a meet and greet with the MHT cast. That gives you a quick chance to say hello, grab the photo moment with performers, and get a feel for the tone of the night before the show begins.
If you care about getting a good souvenir without awkward timing, this part is genuinely useful. The photo is handled as part of the schedule, so you’re not scrambling while everyone else is taking their seats.

Price and What You’re Really Paying For (That $53.23)

At about $53.23 per person, the value depends on whether you’re treating this as an all-in entertainment evening or just a show ticket. Here, the dinner includes soup, roast turkey with all the sides, and ice cream dessert, plus your program and printed photo.
That shifts the math in your favor compared with a straight-up comedy ticket. Dinner is often where the biggest “hidden cost” appears on vacation nights out. Here, the meal is part of your base price, so you can budget more confidently.
One more value point: dietary requests are accommodated. That can be a real money-saver when traveling with a partner or family member who needs a special meal. If you’ve ever had to buy a separate plan elsewhere, you’ll know why this matters.
Two costs to keep in mind:
- Drinks are not included (alcohol and soft drinks come from a paid bar).
- Transfers are add-ons (pickup is offered, but transport beyond that may cost extra).
Getting There: Pickup, Timing, and Mobile Tickets

The experience offers pickup, and you’ll want to be on the ball with timing. They ask you to be at the bus stop 5 minutes before pick-up time, and to contact them with your hotel so they can confirm the exact pickup point and time.
That hotel contact step is important. Without it, pickup can get messy, especially if you’re staying in a larger resort area with several bus stops. I’d treat that as a must-do task as soon as you have your booking confirmed.
You’ll also use a mobile ticket, which usually makes entry faster. Just make sure your phone has battery and that you can access the ticket without hunting through apps.
If you don’t want pickup, note that the venue is near public transportation. That’s helpful if you’re traveling independently and you want the flexibility to arrive when it suits you.
Practical Tips for a Better Night (Especially for Seating)

The show’s small-venue feel is one of the best parts, but it comes with a minor tradeoff: the front can mean more involvement. A few people suggested not sitting at the front if you’re shy, which makes sense if the performers are actively pulling the crowd into the comedy.
So here’s the practical approach:
- If you want a relaxed experience, aim for a mid-to-back seat.
- If you want maximum interaction, you’ll likely enjoy the front, as long as you’re comfortable being part of the action.
Also, plan on the evening being efficient. Reviews praised smooth organization and attentive staff. That usually means fewer long waits between meal and show, and more of your time spent laughing.
Finally, keep drink expectations realistic. The bar is a paid bar, served with table service. People said the staff offered drinks throughout the night, and that drinks were well priced in at least one account, but the key point is: you should budget for beverages separately.
Who This Comedy Drag Dinner Works Best For

This is an easy yes if you want:
- A guaranteed evening plan (dinner + show tied together)
- A comedy night that’s family-friendly in tone
- A show where the performers interact more closely because the venue is small
It’s also a good fit if you care about comfort food. The roast dinner and Yorkshire pudding setup is satisfying, not a tiny appetizer plate.
It might be a harder fit if:
- You’re very strict about language and need English only. English is offered, but one comment flagged that the language might be Spanish during parts of the experience.
- You hate being in the spotlight. Sitting far back solves this for most people.
If you’re celebrating something—birthdays were mentioned—you may find the photo and meet-and-greet add a little extra “occasion” energy without needing more planning.
Should You Book MHT Lanzarote No1?
Book it if you want a fun, organized night out where your dinner is included and the show is designed to keep you laughing from start to finish. At around 4 hours with a full roast dinner, ice cream dessert, and a souvenir photo and program, it’s the kind of package that reduces decision fatigue on holiday.
Skip or double-check if language is a big concern for you or if you strongly prefer a low-interaction show. In that case, you’ll still likely have a great time because the format is entertaining, but you may want to ask what English coverage looks like for your specific seating and performance time.
If you want one simple night that feels like Lanzarote hospitality—glam, humor, and a real meal—this is a strong booking choice.
