Drag cabaret night with dinner and transport
About three hours from your hotel and back: photos with the cast at the door, a chicken dinner with selected drinks, then two hours of impressions, live vocals and comedy.
The short answer
Is the Stardust cabaret night in Ayia Napa worth it, and what is included?
In short
Yes, if you want a loud, glamorous and very silly night out rather than a polished theatre production. A coach collects you from your hotel in the Famagusta district, the cast greet you for photos, a chicken dinner with selected drinks comes to your table, and then two hours of drag impressions, live vocals, comedy and audience banter fill the room before the coach takes you back. Spirits and cocktails cost extra, filming the show is not allowed, and the calendar can show more than one seating option.
What it is
A drag cabaret with dinner: performers in drag, a set meal at your table, a host who talks to the room, costume changes and songs in the style of famous voices. Transport, dinner, souvenirs and a cast photograph are in the ticket, so most of the night is paid for before you leave the hotel.
What it isn’t
Not a concert by the stars it sends up, and not a quiet dinner with music in the background. The impersonations change and none is promised. Drinks beyond the selected ones are paid on the night, and video recording is off limits. If being drawn into the act would spoil your evening, choose another night out.

Hotel to hotel
How the evening runs, from pickup to drop-off
Your confirmation gives the pickup time and place. This is the shape of the night; what happens on stage is the cast’s business and changes.
-
Pickup
The coach comes to you
Transport from hotels in the Famagusta district, which takes in Ayia Napa and Protaras, is part of the ticket. A coach calls at several hotels on the way, so be at your pickup point a little early with your phone switched on.
-
Arrival
Photos at the door
The cast meet guests as they arrive, in full costume, and you can have your photo taken with them before anyone sits down. It is the best moment of the night to see the wigs and gowns up close.
-
Dinner
Chicken at your table
Dinner is served at the table before the show: a chicken meal with selected drinks. Spirits and cocktails are ordered and paid for separately. If chicken does not suit you, raise it through your booking well before the night.
-
Show
Two hours under the lights
Impersonations of famous singers, a live vocalist and comedy routines fill about two hours. Which stars get the treatment changes over time, and the running order is the cast’s to set.
-
Join in
The room becomes part of it
Banter with the audience and a share of audience participation are built into the format. The host talks to the tables between numbers, so expect to be spoken to, and to laugh at your neighbours as much as at yourself.
-
Home
Souvenirs, then the ride back
Show souvenirs and a cast photograph come with the ticket. After the final number the coach takes everyone back to their hotels.
What the revue is built from
What a drag revue is built from
This show’s own acts change, so they are left out here. These are the parts any drag cabaret is put together from, and where each one comes from.
-
Impersonation
A famous voice, borrowed for one number
Drag performers sometimes dress to imitate famous female singers or personalities, and impressions are the backbone of a cabaret like this one. The skill lies in the exaggeration: the wig a little bigger, the gesture a little slower, the attitude turned up until the room recognises the star before the first line is sung. Whose turn it is changes with the production, which is why no guide can tell you which stars you will meet.
-
Voice
Sung live, or mimed on purpose
Drag shows mix lip-syncing, live singing and dancing. Miming to a record, when the audience knows the performer is pretending, is a craft of its own, a kind of musical pantomime that drag performers have made their speciality. This show is billed with a live vocalist, so expect at least some of the songs to be sung in the room rather than played from a track.
-
Compère
The host who holds the room together
A cabaret is usually introduced by a master of ceremonies, the person who brings on each act, speaks to the audience and keeps the evening moving. In older theatre language the role is the compère, or the commère when the host is a woman. In drag cabaret the host is often the sharpest comic in the building, and much of the night’s laughter happens between the songs.
-
Costume
Each change bigger than the last
Hair, make-up and costume are a drag performer’s essentials, and the look is deliberately heavier than everyday make-up. British pantomime shows the same habit of escalation: a pantomime dame often has many costume changes in one performance, each more extravagant than the one before. A drag revue borrows that rhythm, so the reveal itself, when a gown comes off or a wig goes up, earns its own cheer.
-
Banter
The audience is part of the act
Beyond the songs, a drag show may include comedy, sketches and plenty of interaction with the audience. A good host reads the room and may turn someone near the stage into a supporting character for a minute. Done well, it is affectionate rather than cruel, and the laugh is on the situation as much as on the guest.
-
Camp
Artifice turned up to full
Camp is the sensibility that enjoys something precisely because it is exaggerated, artificial and knowing about it. The American writer Susan Sontag picked out frivolity, excess and artifice as its marks, and the style has long run through film, cabaret and pantomime. A drag revue is camp by design: the glitter is meant to look like glitter, and the joke is shared with the audience rather than played on it.
Drawn from the English Wikipedia articles on drag queens, drag shows, lip sync, the master of ceremonies, the pantomime dame and camp, read in November 2026.

Before you go
Getting there, and the details to settle first
Transport
Pickup and drop-off are included from hotels across the Famagusta district, the stretch of coast that holds Ayia Napa and Protaras. Your confirmation sets the time and the meeting place. Staying in a villa or apartment? Ask after booking which nearby hotel the coach can use.
Staying further away
The included transport covers the Famagusta district. If you are staying in Larnaca or elsewhere on the island, ask the operator through your booking whether and where you can join before you pay.
Dressing for it
The booking sets no dress code. Resort-evening clothes are fine, and if you have ever wanted an excuse for sequins, this is the night for them.
Cameras
Video recording is not allowed. A cast photograph comes with the ticket, and there is time for your own photos with the cast when you arrive.
Children
The show is billed for guests of all ages. Drag comedy runs on innuendo, so think about how much of it you want your youngest to catch; older children tend to enjoy the costumes and the noise.
Dates
Not every night has a show. Pick from the dates the calendar shows; since calling it off costs nothing until the day before, holding a date early carries no risk.

FAQ
What people ask before booking the cabaret
Is the drag cabaret night in Ayia Napa worth it?
Yes, if you want a glamorous, comic night out with most of it paid in advance: transport, a chicken dinner, selected drinks, souvenirs and a cast photograph come with the ticket. It is a drag revue, not a concert, so go for the costumes, the impressions and the banter.
What exactly is included in the ticket?
Pickup and drop-off from hotels in the Famagusta district, a chicken dinner, selected drinks, show souvenirs, a cast photograph and about two hours of show. Spirits and cocktails sit outside the ticket and are paid on the night.
How long is the whole night?
Roughly three hours from pickup to drop-off, two of them on stage. Your confirmation gives the pickup time; the coach calls at several hotels, so allow a little extra either side.
Which stars are impersonated?
That changes, and no particular star is promised. The impressions are of famous singers, and the production decides who appears. Book for the format, not for one name.
Can children come?
The show is billed for guests of all ages. The comedy is cheeky and leans on innuendo, so it suits teenagers and adults best; for younger children, judge how much of it you are happy for them to hear.
Can I film the show or take photos?
Video recording is not allowed. There is a chance for photos with the cast when you arrive, and a cast photograph is included in the ticket.
Where does the coach pick up?
From hotels in the Famagusta district, which covers Ayia Napa and Protaras. Your confirmation names the time and the place. Staying in an apartment or villa, or outside the district? Ask through your booking before the day.
Are there different seats or packages?
The booking calendar can offer more than one seating option. Read what each one includes, then choose; the prices shown there are current.
Can wheelchair users come?
The show is marked as accessible for wheelchair users. Say so when you book so the transport can be arranged, and check any specific needs with the operator through your booking.
What if my holiday plans shift?
Through GetYourGuide you can call it off at no charge up to 24 hours before the show, and you need not pay straight away.
Is this the show’s own website?
No. You are reading an independent guide, unconnected to the show, its production company or the venue. Bookings made from this guide go through GetYourGuide.
