Brighton’s Haus of Cabaret presents Cabaret Carousel, a 4-hour cabaret and burlesque show with themed acts, games, and optional meal upgrades.

“The staff were friendly. The activity was very badly organised. They weren’t expecting us. I contacted them several times before the activity and did not receive a reply. We eventually received a small starter. By 9:30, I was so hungry and there was no sign of a main meal. Nothing was communicated to us. We left to get food elsewhere. I would not recommend this experience and expect to receive a refund.”

“Put 3 stars for transportation because there wasn’t any? Anyway overall night was excellent. Great seats (front row…. Not sure that’s good for a comedy show) but we got off lightly. Compere and 4 comedians all really good. A few people chatting and distracting the audience and the comedians but they all dealt with them in their own way 🤣. Only stayed for a little while for the nightclub. The bar on the boat opposite the club is great…. Fantastic views of the London Eye.”
