Back by popular demand after last year’s sold-out success, this immersive comedy – based on the cult BBC sitcom – will run for three nights only, Friday to Sunday, December 5th–7th, 2025, at the historic Fortaleza restaurant in Praia da Luz.

An Immersive Comedy Dinner

Actors portraying Basil Fawlty, Manuel, and Sybil bring the iconic sitcom characters to life, delivering interactive comedy and 70s-style dining chaos.
Many things go wrong during the meal, with hilarious consequences, as the actors ad-lib freely and involve the audience in the mayhem.

No two shows are ever the same – the cast often enjoys it more when things go spectacularly wrong, so “what could possibly go wrong?” becomes the playful motto of the night. In true panto-season spirit, attendees become part of the show, sometimes literally in on the joke, making it feel as much like a Christmas pantomime as it does a dinner party.

This unique blend of theatre and dining has been described as “theatre at its startling best” by Best of London Theatre, and the show’s 12-year award-winning run in London’s West End attests to its worldwide acclaim. Expect an evening of festive fun, spontaneous comedy, and interactive chaos – all within the glow of holiday season décor and cheer.

Three Nights Only – Early Booking Essential

Last year’s Algarve debut sold out within just five days, prompting additional dates to be added. Now “back by popular demand,” the show returns for a strictly limited run of three nights. Capacity is limited to just 65 guests per night, ensuring an intimate experience.

Tickets are €90 per person, which includes a full 3-course 70s-inspired dinner, half a bottle of wine (per guest), and water, along with two hours of unforgettable interactive entertainment. Organizers advise early booking, as this smash-hit show tends to sell out quickly wherever it goes

Fortaleza da Luz, the venue, is itself part of the experience. This 17th-century clifftop fortress-turned-restaurant provides a scenic, historic backdrop for the chaos to unfold. Guests will gather for drinks on the sea-facing terrace before taking their seats in the Fortaleza’s magnificent old hall, dining amid stone walls and vaulted ceilings – a setting that adds both drama and charm to the evening.
