Faulty Towers comes to Cowes

The international immersive comedy sensation plays at the Shearing Shed on April 18 – so don’t miss out.

Embarking on its 29th year of touring, Faulty Towers The Dining Experience continues its universally acclaimed adaptation of the iconic TV series Fawlty Towers.

As the longest-running Fawlty Towers show in the world, this is one “fresh comedic invention” (British Comedy Guide) you won’t want to miss.

Fully immersive, highly interactive and completely original, this is the show where anything can and usually does happen. With 70 per cent of the show improvised, it’s never the same twice.

This critically acclaimed experience guarantees chaos, laughter, and an unforgettable night out. Expect two hours of comedy, and a 70s-inspired three course meal.

Hailed as “deliciously entertaining” by What’s on London and “Comedy at its finest” by Theatre Travels, both awarded the show a Five-Star rating.

Written by Alison Pollard-Mansergh, Faulty Towers The Dining Experience began in 1997 at the Rydges Hotel in Brisbane. Since then, it has been seen by close to two million people worldwide in 43 countries.

The show had its first London performance in 2009 with a sold-out weekend in Covent Garden, followed by summer seasons. In 2012, it opened its first West End residency at the Charing Cross Hotel, which became a record-breaking 10-year run.

In 2022, it moved to the President Hotel in Bloomsbury where it continues its record-breaking run, including back-to-back Group Leisure and Travel awards in 2023 and 2024. In 2025 the show was recognised by The Guardian UK as one of the longest running shows in London.

Over the years, the show has toured to over 2000 venues, performing approximately 600 shows annually, and entertained Royalty and celebrities such as Andrew Sachs, John McEnroe, and Joe Cole.

With 29 years touring internationally, it continues to receive rave reviews for its dynamic, interactive format that pays homage to the classic sitcom.
