Ismael Viking Benidorm

The act is a themed male performance with a Norse-warrior costume, strong audience interaction and a cheeky routine typical of Chaplins' late shows. It is an adults-only show on Chaplins' published timetable, in the 9:30pm and 1:30am slots.

He often appears on the same nights as Chaplins' other headline acts, which makes it easy to see several shows in one visit.

Chaplins is Benidorm's best-known adult cabaret bar, with acts running late into the night. Ismael Viking appears on many nights through the season. The table above refreshes daily from the venue's listings and shows times exactly as advertised, in Spanish time.

Adult shows are strictly for over-18s, and door staff can and do ask for ID, so carry a photo card or a picture of your passport. Phones are generally not welcome during the act; filming a performer without permission will get you shown the door. Free entry — no tickets. Buy a drink at the bar; some venues ask for a minimum one-drink purchase during the show. Shows run around 45 minutes to an hour. Sit near the back if you would rather not be pulled into the act — front-row guests are fair game.

Chaplins is at Avenida de Mallorca 4, at the bottom of the British Square in the Rincón de Loix (phone +34 651 639 163). Free entry, with happy hour all night. From the Levante beachfront it is a ten-minute walk inland; from the Old Town allow 25 minutes on foot or a short taxi ride, and taxis queue on Avenida del Mediterráneo until late.

Show dates on this page come from the venues' own listings and are checked every day, so if Ismael Viking is moved or cancelled the table updates automatically. Times are always shown exactly as the venue advertises them, in Spanish time, whatever language you read the site in.
