Tenerife: MHT Comedy Drag Dinner Show

Tenerife’s MHT Comedy Drag Dinner Show is much more than a singer in sequins. It is a four-and-a-half-hour dinner production with comedy, costumes, choreography, live vocals, audience banter, and a full cast. The 2025 version is built in three parts, with a warm-up, main production, and finale.

I like the three-course meal and table service, which let you stay in your seat instead of missing the show at a bar. I also like the meet and greet with a printed photo, a small but useful extra for birthdays, anniversaries, hen parties, and family holidays. The main thing to consider is that drinks cost extra, and the humor includes sexual innuendo, so very young children may not be the best fit.

Key points before you book

• A full cast, not a one-person act: Queens, dancers, vocalists, and hosts share the stage.
• Three-part evening: Expect a pre-show comedy warm-up, the main production, and a singalong finale.
• Dinner is included: Soup, turkey roast dinner, seasonal vegetables, gravy, and dessert are part of the standard meal.
• English throughout: Comedy, announcements, singing, and audience interaction are performed in English.
• Meet and greet included: You receive a printed souvenir photo with the cast.
• Drinks are extra: Table service is provided, but beer, wine, soft drinks, and cocktails are paid for separately.

A glittery night in Playa de las Américas

The show now takes place at Vivo Show Bar at Vivo Minigolf, on Avenida Rafael Puig Lluvina 7 in Playa de las Américas. That change of venue matters because some older directions or holiday brochures may mention another location. Check your confirmation carefully and show your voucher at the reception.

The evening is scheduled from about 7:15 PM to 11:00 PM, although doors open around 7:00 PM. That gives you a full night out rather than a short stage performance squeezed between dinner and bed. If you are staying nearby, you can make your own way there. Optional hotel transfers are also available for an extra charge, with the transfer team sending the pickup time and meeting place after booking.

I would allow time to arrive early. The cast meet and greet and arrival photo are part of the evening, and getting settled before the comedy begins makes the night feel less rushed. The venue is described as clean and relatively intimate, and one useful detail from the seating arrangements is that staff may be able to help with requests. If you have sensitive hearing, anxiety around crowds, a wheelchair, a pram, or another medical need, tell the team in advance.

The opening warm-up gets the room involved

The first section is a comedy warm-up rather than a quiet dinner service. Hosts and performers get the audience talking, laughing, and ready for the main production. This is where the show’s interactive style becomes clear.

Audience interaction is central to MHT. The performers may chat with people at the tables, involve the room in jokes, and use playful banter to keep the energy moving. Shona is named as a compare who works closely with the crowd, while Juicy J has also helped with seating and audience requests. The humor is designed to be cheeky rather than crude, but it does include double entendres and sexual innuendo.

That distinction matters. The show is advertised as family friendly, and children are welcome, but family friendly does not mean completely free of adult humor. I would be comfortable recommending it to families with older children who understand the tone. For small children, the late finish, loud entertainment, and suggestive jokes may not be ideal.

Dinner arrives between the laughs

Your ticket includes a home-cooked three-course meal. The standard menu is:

• Vegetable soup
• Turkey roast dinner with roast and mashed potatoes, seasonal vegetables, and gravy
• Dessert, generally ice cream or Vienetta

The food is meant to support the show rather than compete with a restaurant meal. That is a fair arrangement for a dinner theater evening. Some people have found the meal better than expected, while others have described it as basic. I would set your expectations at a solid, traditional roast dinner rather than a gourmet menu.

Timing can affect the meal. One attendee found the food slightly cool when served later than other tables, so the first serving may have an advantage. Staff provide table service throughout the night, and this is a real benefit. You can order drinks without leaving your seat, and several comments praise the speed and friendliness of the waiting team.

Vegetarian meals can be arranged, with a bean-based steak listed as the alternative. Children can have the adult meal or choose chicken nuggets and wedges. Dietary requirements can be accommodated if you provide the details when booking. Do not wait until arrival if you need a special meal.

The main production brings the costumes and vocals

After the opening section and dinner service, the full production takes over. This is the part to book if you want more than stand-up comedy. The cast includes professional drag queens, dancers, and vocalists, with costume changes, choreography, comedy mime, and live singing.

The 2025 production is described as bigger and bolder, with new faces and new material while keeping the familiar MHT format. The stage show is not built around one performer. The wider cast gives the production more variety and allows the pace to shift between songs, dance routines, comedy sketches, and visual routines.

Live vocals are a major selling point. The evening mixes singing with dance and comedy, so this is not a concert where every minute is devoted to music. Still, the live performance element gives the show a stronger theater feel than a simple lip-sync act.

The humor stays broad and easy to follow for an English-speaking audience. If English is not your first language, songs and physical comedy may be easier to follow than the stand-up sections. The comedy depends on English wordplay, crowd interaction, and quick replies, so language ability matters more here than it would at a silent cabaret.

The finale turns dinner into a singalong

The final section brings the cast back for songs, audience participation, surprises, and a group finish. This is where the evening becomes a shared party rather than a seated stage show.

You can expect clapping, singing along, and more interaction between the performers and the room. If you prefer to watch quietly from the back, this may feel more direct than a standard theater performance. If you enjoy being part of the joke, the interactive format is one of MHT’s strongest features.

The show is also well suited to celebrations. Birthday shout-outs and small extras may be arranged, and one birthday evening included a glass of bubbles and a special mention for the birthday guest. These details are not presented as a guaranteed part of every booking, so ask ahead if you are planning a celebration.

The meet and greet is a useful extra

The arrival meet and greet includes a printed souvenir photo with the cast. That gives the evening a clear beginning and a physical reminder to take home. It is especially useful for a birthday group, an anniversary, or a first drag show.

The photo is included, while drinks and merchandise are not. If you want MHT-branded items or extra drinks, budget for them separately. The cast interaction is not limited to the photo, since performers also work the room during the evening.

What the price really covers

The listed price is $52 per person, though some booking references and past comments mention prices around €38. Prices may vary by date, sales channel, or local offer, so check the final price at checkout rather than relying on an older figure.

At $52, the value depends on how you judge dinner theater. You receive a three-course meal, about two hours of entertainment within a four-and-a-half-hour evening, a full cast, table service, a meet and greet, and a printed photo. Drinks are not included, but the meal and show together make the admission cost easier to justify than a ticket for a short stage performance.

Drink prices have been described as reasonable in some cases, with examples including a €4.50 pint, €16 bottle of house red, and €3.50 soft drink. Cocktail jugs are also available. These are useful price examples, not a promise of current rates, so bring room in your budget for the bar.

The food itself is simple. If your priority is a memorable dinner, you may want to choose a restaurant separately. If your priority is a long, social evening with live entertainment, the package makes good sense.

Who will enjoy MHT most

I would recommend this show to couples, groups of friends, birthday parties, hen parties, and families with older children. It works particularly well when your group wants one organized evening with dinner and entertainment in the same place.

It is also a good choice if you want to meet other people. Tables may seat more than one party, and the format encourages conversation and shared reactions. Couples may find themselves seated with another couple, which can be a pleasant part of the night if you are open to it.

You may want to skip it if you dislike audience participation, prefer a quiet meal, or need a sophisticated fine-dining menu. The humor is broad, the pacing is lively, and the cast may address the audience directly. Those are strengths for the right crowd, but not for everyone.

Practical details that can save you trouble

The show is performed entirely in English, including the comedy and audience interaction. The production also uses singing, dancing, mime, and visual comedy, which helps keep the evening moving for people who do not catch every joke.

Wheelchair access is available, but you should advise the organizers in advance. The same applies to prams, medical conditions, and seating needs. Staff have shown flexibility with table moves when a seat near the speakers caused discomfort, but advance notice gives them a better chance to help.

Optional hotel pickup is available for an extra fee. If you choose it, the Guest Support and Reservations Team will send the confirmed time and pickup point. The transfers use marked vehicles and English-speaking guides.

Free cancellation is available up to 24 hours before the activity for a full refund. You can also reserve now and pay later, which is useful if your Tenerife plans are not fully fixed.

Should you book the MHT Comedy Drag Dinner Show?

Book it if you want a complete holiday night out, not just a drag performance. The strongest reasons are the professional multi-person cast, live vocals, steady audience interaction, included dinner, and the simple bonus of a printed photo.

Go in expecting traditional food, extra charges for drinks, and cheeky English humor. If those points suit your group, MHT offers a lot for the price and gives you an easy evening with no need to plan separate dinner and entertainment. I would book early for a birthday or larger group, since the show has limited seating and the popular dates can fill.
