Faulty Towers The Dining Experience
The international immersive comedy sensation — now in its 29th year on tour, and coming to Goatstown.
About the show
Now in its 29th year of touring, Faulty Towers The Dining Experience brings its universally acclaimed take on the iconic TV series to The Goat in Goatstown, Dublin 14. It is the longest-running Fawlty Towers show anywhere in the world.
Fully immersive, highly interactive and completely original, this is the show where anything can — and usually does — happen. With roughly 70% of the evening improvised, no two performances are ever alike. Expect two hours of comedy, a 1970s-inspired three-course meal and a gloriously chaotic night out.
Since its premiere in Brisbane in 1997 the production has been seen by close to two million people across 43 countries and more than 2,000 venues, including a record-breaking West End residency. In 2025 it was recognised by The Guardian as one of the longest-running shows in London.
Written by Alison Pollard-Mansergh, the show has entertained royalty and famous faces alike, and continues to draw rave reviews for its dynamic, interactive format. Our last Dublin show sold out in 72 hours — book early.
