FAULTY TOWERS THE DINING EXPERIENCE, BRINGS LAUGHS, MAYHEM AND MADNESS TO SYDNEY OPERA HOUSE

Get ready for a comedic culinary adventure like no other as Faulty Towers The Dining Experience embarks on its Australian touring season beginning at Sydney Opera House from 12-17 February in the Utzon Room for its 12th season. Come and see for yourself why this is labelled "Immersive theatre at its startling best" (Best of Theatre, London 2019) For 11 consecutive years, the Sydney Opera House has played host to sold-out performances, solidifying Faulty Towers The Dining Experience as a staple of the iconic venue. As it returns for its 12th season, audiences can anticipate uproarious laughter, impeccable dining, and an immersive experience that defies expectations.

Faulty Towers The Dining Experience is a highly interactive experience, where audiences enjoy a 3-course meal and 5-star comedy. Devised by Alison Pollard-Mansergh, Andrew Foreman and others, the show has been seen by over a million people worldwide since the very first show at the Ridges Hotel in Brisbane on 24 April 1997. From its roots in Brisbane, the show has grown into one of Australia's greatest theatre exports, captivating audiences worldwide.

2023 saw the celebration of 15 years touring Europe, and now in 2024 the show celebrates 27 years of touring worldwide, and enters its 12th year of the highly successful West End residency in London. In fact, Faulty Towers The Dining Experience is now the longest running immersive production, the longest running Fawlty Towers production in the West End and the longest running show based on a TV series in the West End. It is also the longest-running Fawlty Towers production of ANY KIND running worldwide.

When the audience become diners in the ‘Faulty Towers’ restaurant, pretty much anything can happen – because 70% of the show is improvised. The fun starts as guests wait to be seated. It then hurtles along in a 2-hour tour de force of gags and shambolic service as Basil, Sybil and Manuel serve a ‘70s-style 3-course meal together with a good dollop of mayhem.

Expect the unexpected!

Brisbane born in April 1997, the show is now an international institution, and tours Australia year round with 5 separate casts. The 2024 Australian tour includes the 17h return season to Adelaide Fringe Festival, Melbourne International Comedy Festival, and performances as far as Alice Springs, Cairns, and Hobart, to name a few.

Faulty Towers The Dining Experience is a loving tribute to Fawlty Towers, the BBC TV series written by John Cleese and Connie Booth. Their TV scripts are not used in Faulty Towers The Dining Experience. Faulty Towers The Dining Experience uses its own original scripts and format.
