Forbidden Nights at Town Hall Theatre

What to Expect

Forbidden Nights is an adults-only touring variety show that has been running for more than a decade and claims an audience of over 300,000 to date. The format leans on high-energy routines, comedy and a lot of direct interaction with the room rather than a fourth wall. Audience members can sit back and sing along, or buy a premium stage pass and end up part of the act.

Every ticket, whatever the tier, includes a meet-and-greet with the cast and a photo afterwards, which is a large part of what people book it for. The show runs 135 minutes including an interval, so it is a full night out rather than a quick turn. It plays the Town Hall Theatre main stage for one night at the start of October. Ticket prices sit between €30 and €32.50 before the booking fee is added.
