Operated by MHT SHOWS SL MUSIC HALL TAVERN - TENERIFE LANZAROTE · Bookable on GetYourGuide

Drag, comedy, and dinner in one night. MHT Comedy Drag Dinner Show turns Puerto del Carmen into a full-on theatre night, with live vocals, big costumes, and a polished cast that treats it like an actual production, not a quick set. I love the English-language stand-up and audience banter, and I love that the 3-course homemade meal is included in your ticket price.

The main practical catch is the venue layout. MHT is on the 1st floor of Centro Comercial La Peñita, and there are 17 steps with no lift, so if stairs are tough, factor that in before you go.

Key highlights you’ll care about

  • A brand-new 2025 show with more energy, choreography, and live vocals
  • Three-part production (pre-show warm-up, main show, then a finale with cast interaction)
  • English comedy throughout, including a stand-up section and singalongs
  • Ticket includes a printed souvenir photo plus meet and greet with the cast
  • 3-course homemade dinner (starter, roast-style main, and Vienetta-style ice cream)

What You’re Really Buying at MHT in Puerto del Carmen

Lanzarote: MHT Comedy Drag Dinner Show - What You’re Really Buying at MHT in Puerto del Carmen
If you’re choosing a night out in Lanzarote, MHT is a pretty efficient deal. For about four hours, you get a proper comedy dinner show with a full production rhythm: you eat, you laugh, the stage gets louder, then you end with a finale that’s designed to include you. It’s in Puerto del Carmen, which makes it a convenient pick when you want something fun that doesn’t involve a long transfer.

The biggest reason this works is pacing. You’re not just sitting through a show and hoping the meal doesn’t feel like an afterthought. Table service is part of the night, and the show is split into three sections with breaks built into the flow.

At $52 per person, the value comes from what’s included: a 3-course homemade meal, a meet & greet, and a printed souvenir photo. Drinks are extra, but you’re not forced into upsells to get the experience.

Timing and the Three-Part Flow (7 PM to Around 11 PM)

Lanzarote: MHT Comedy Drag Dinner Show - Timing and the Three-Part Flow (7 PM to Around 11 PM)
MHT runs from 7:00 PM to 11:00 PM. Doors open around 7:00 PM, and you’re there for the full evening package—pre-show, dinner, main production, and the finale.

Here’s the flow you should expect:

  • Pre-show warm-up: hosts get the room moving with comedy that sets the tone fast. This is when you’ll hear the cast’s style and see how interactive they’ll be later.
  • Main production: the brand-new 2025 show comes with choreography and live vocals. Expect a mix of singing and dancing with comedy elements (including mime-style bits and stand-up-style moments).
  • Finale and meet-the-cast: you finish with singalongs, surprises, and more direct interaction so the night feels like an event, not a one-way performance.

Because the show is split into three parts, the breaks matter. They keep the meal and entertainment from clashing, so you’re not trying to eat during the loudest moment of the show.

The Venue on the 1st Floor: Centro Comercial La Peñita Reality Check

Lanzarote: MHT Comedy Drag Dinner Show - The Venue on the 1st Floor: Centro Comercial La Peñita Reality Check
MHT’s location is straightforward once you’re there: you check in at Music Hall Tavern – MHT inside Centro Comercial La Peñita, on Avenida de las Playas in Puerto del Carmen.

The detail that can change your experience is access. The venue is on the 1st floor, there are 17 steps, and there’s no lift available. If you’re coming with a pram, have mobility limits, or just don’t love stair climbs after dinner, plan accordingly. You can still go, but you’ll want the energy for the stairs early in the evening rather than at the end.

The 3-Course Meal You’ll Actually Get (Starter, Roast, Dessert)

Lanzarote: MHT Comedy Drag Dinner Show - The 3-Course Meal You’ll Actually Get (Starter, Roast, Dessert)
This is where MHT can surprise people in a good way. Your ticket includes a home-cooked 3-course meal served with table service.

Your meal is:

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

There are also options:

  • Vegetarian option: bean base burger with potatoes and vegetables
  • Children: they can have the same meal as adults, or choose a chicken nuggets meal
  • Dietary requirements: accommodated if you advise in advance

A few practical notes before you book:

  • This isn’t a tapas crawl. It’s a classic roast-style meal, which many people find comforting and filling before a longer show.
  • Drinks are not included. You’ll probably want water on hand, and you’ll want a budget for cocktails if that’s your plan.

Meet & Greet and the Printed Souvenir Photo

Lanzarote: MHT Comedy Drag Dinner Show - Meet & Greet and the Printed Souvenir Photo
Most shows give you a memory and a receipt. MHT adds something tangible.

Your ticket includes:

  • Arrival meet & greet with the cast
  • A printed souvenir photo with the cast
  • Table service throughout the night

The photo piece matters because it removes one of the small annoyances of show nights: you don’t have to chase people with your phone, then discover the lighting was terrible. You’ll still want to take your own pictures if you can, but you’ll have this printed keepsake as a backup.

If you’re celebrating a birthday or another special occasion, let them know. The experience is set up to feel like more than just entertainment, and that helps.

The Show in English: Comedy, Mime, Dance, and Live Vocals

MHT is performed entirely in English. That includes a stand-up comedy section with interactions, plus the rest of the production, which blends comedy and stage performance.

So what’s the comedy like?

  • It’s family friendly: cheeky, never crude.
  • It’s still live, which means it can be a bit unpredictable in the moment.
  • Some jokes may land better with adults than kids, especially during the stand-up-style interaction parts. If you’re bringing younger children, you’ll likely enjoy the costumes, singing, and energy even if every punchline doesn’t fully click.

What you’ll notice most is the professionalism. This isn’t a cast of one person doing their best. You’ll see queens, dancers, and vocalists working as a team, with live singing woven into the performance. The choreography and costume work help the comedy feel big and theatre-like instead of casual.

And one more detail that shows up in people’s reports: the production is tech-supported. LED screens and visual elements are part of the show setup, which helps the stage feel modern and polished.

Drinks and Budget Planning (Cocktails, Prosecco, and What’s Extra)

Lanzarote: MHT Comedy Drag Dinner Show - Drinks and Budget Planning (Cocktails, Prosecco, and What’s Extra)
Drinks are available for purchase. That’s the one area where you’ll want to be ready with your expectations.

From real-world feedback, cocktails can be hit-or-miss depending on what you like, and some people feel certain spirits (including prosecco) can run pricey. The upside is you’re not locked into a drink package—you can just enjoy the included meal and show, then decide how much to spend.

My practical approach:

  • Arrive a little hungry so you enjoy the meal.
  • Set a drink budget before you sit down.
  • If you’re sensitive to cost, stick with water between show moments and buy only what you truly want.

Getting There: On Your Own or the Optional Transfers

Lanzarote: MHT Comedy Drag Dinner Show - Getting There: On Your Own or the Optional Transfers
You have two ways in.

Option A: Go on your own

You’ll need to show your voucher at reception of Music Hall Tavern – MHT, which is on the 1st floor.

Option B: Use the optional hotel transfer

If you pick transfers, the bus will have an MHT sign on the front windscreen. You should wait at the pickup point about 10 minutes before your pickup time. Drivers won’t wait more than 5 minutes after the scheduled time.

Transfers matter because Puerto del Carmen evenings can get hectic. If you’re tired after a full day in the sun, the bus can take the stress out of your night plan.

Who This Is Best For (And Who Might Think Twice)

Lanzarote: MHT Comedy Drag Dinner Show - Who This Is Best For (And Who Might Think Twice)
MHT works especially well for:

  • Couples and friends who want a laugh-filled night with a real stage show
  • Families looking for something that’s fun without being crude
  • People who prefer English-language entertainment (no translation needed)

It may feel less ideal if:

  • Stairs are a dealbreaker for you. Remember the 17 steps with no lift.
  • You’re expecting a quiet, elegant meal. The night is performance-first, with dinner flowing alongside the show.
  • You’re very sensitive to drink prices. Drinks are extra, and some reports suggest cocktails and prosecco can cost more than you’d hope.

Should You Book MHT Comedy Drag Dinner in Lanzarote?

Lanzarote: MHT Comedy Drag Dinner Show - Should You Book MHT Comedy Drag Dinner in Lanzarote?
Yes, if you want an evening that’s built like a proper production and you like comedy, singing, and costumes more than quiet sightseeing. The included 3-course meal, English live show, and printed souvenir photo make it a straightforward value choice, and the atmosphere is designed to keep you laughing from the first warm-up section through the finale.

I’d book it sooner rather than later if you’re in Puerto del Carmen for a short stay, because the timing is fixed (7 PM start, finished around 11 PM). If you’re worried about the steps, plan around them, or choose transfers so you don’t add extra stress.

If your idea of a great night out is showtime with audience energy, MHT is one of the easiest “yes” decisions on Lanzarote.
