About Madam Lola's

Madam Lola’s is a cabaret and nightlife venue on St George’s Road in Brighton’s Kemptown district. Set inside a distinctive Grade II-listed building with a copper dome, it offers an immersive alternative to a conventional theatre or nightclub. The venue is artist-owned and led, with an ever-changing cast of drag artists, dancers, aerial performers, live vocalists, comedians, circus acts and speciality entertainers. Performances take place throughout the room, placing the audience close to the action. Friday and Saturday evenings combine a seated cabaret show with cocktails, velvet booths and a late-night party. After the main performance, the venue continues with DJs, dancing and entertainment until the early hours. Selected Saturday dates also feature daytime brunch shows with cabaret, aerial performance and boylesque. Private tables and packages are available for birthdays and celebrations.

Such a fun evening!! Blew all our expectations. We were a hen party of 13 and had balcony seats. Drinks were flowing, every act was brilliant and Joe Black brought all the laughs. Plus a little boogie at the end really rounded the whole thing off 🕺 The whole team & production was amazing considering they've only been open 3 weeks. 10/10 book it now!

Not only have these guys salvaged and restored an historic building in an Brighton, but they've turned it into a hub for the community, with events for everyone, and still more in the planning, how amazing is that! I went at the weekend to see the evening caberet and thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. It was varied, fun and full of energy. The venue is ideal for solos, couples and groups, and everyone was so welcoming. I'm looking forward to going back to try a brunch show soon!

😍WOW😍 Incredible show, definitely not your normal cabaret! Full of surprises! Came here to do something a little different than your average night out and it did not disappoint. If cabaret and burlesque isn't your jam, I'd still give this place a try and I promise you will see it as money well spent.

What. A. Show. Some spontaneous plans were made to visit Mama Lola’s at the weekend and it was honestly incredible! Not only were the performers brilliantly talented but the venue was magical and perfect for this sort of show, would highly recommend to anyone from or visiting Brighton! 10/10 💋

One of, if not the best cabaret show I have seen in Brighton, and I worked in that building for years (many moons ago)! The team were fantastic. Really cannot wait to come back and see how quickly Madam Lola's becomes a Brighton staple.
