Live acts in Benidorm — cabaret, comedy and production shows
"Live acts" in Benidorm covers the bigger-format shows that go beyond a band on a small stage — full cabaret nights, drag shows, comedians, magicians, dance troupes, variety productions and the famous dinner-and-show experiences at Benidorm Palace. If you're after a proper night of entertainment with a beginning, middle and end, this is the page to bookmark.
Every live act playing in Benidorm tonight and across the next seven days is listed below with start times, venues and direct booking links where applicable.
Benidorm Palace and the big production shows
Benidorm Palace is the most famous live-act venue on the Costa Blanca — a Las Vegas-style theatre serving a three-course dinner followed by a 90-minute production show with dancers, acrobats, singers and special guest acts. Other venues hosting full production shows include Hotel Benikaktus, Levante Club, Hotel Flamingo Oasis, Magic Aqua Rock Gardens and the Hotel Servigroup Diplomatic.
Comedy and variety in Benidorm
British stand-up comedy is a huge part of Benidorm's live-act scene. Comedians tour regularly between venues like Morgan Tavern, Sinatras, Talk of the Coast, Saints & Sinners and the Heartbeat. Variety bills mixing comedy, magic and music are also common — expect 90 to 120 minutes of entertainment plus a late-night DJ slot afterwards.
Drag and cabaret shows
Benidorm has a thriving drag and cabaret scene — Sticky Vicky's legendary spot has been continued by a new generation of performers, with regular drag bingo, lip-sync battles and themed cabaret nights across both the British strip and the Old Town's LGBT quarter (Calle Santa Faç).
