Visited the Wam Bam club last weekend. Being my first experience of a burlesque night I was a little skeptical, however it was good fun and our party enjoyed themselves. Friendly staff on the door, at reception and at the bar. It's not a cheap night out but the entry ticket is worth it for the good fun entertainment you get. Did feel a little like sitting in a school hall though I must admit, and the bar area has a bit of an odd feel to it, I thought it would be more 'grand'. Drinks are expensive, don't go looking for a cheap night in this place. For a mates birthday it was perfect and we had so much fun. If we were celebrating a big occasion however I would have felt a tad disappointed. I won't be hurrying back but I did have a good night.

A fabulous, fun, entertaining and sexy evening..if this is what you are looking for then come to the Wam Bam Club. We were a party of 14 girls, celebrating my niece's forthcoming marriage. We were looked after very well by the wonderful staff all evening, from the moment we entered the club area when greeted by the gorgeous red headed Lady Alex (fabulous legs!!). Where else can you walk into a room and be greeted by 2 smooth and sexy oiled up handsome guys with trays of Lindor chocolate balls!!! Our food was lovely and very tasty..i had the chicken which i would highly recommend. The serving and waiting staff were wonderful, friendly and professional. Lady Alex hosted the evening keeping the crowd entertained and fired up between acts. The entertainers were amazing and sooo sexy, i wish i had had 6 pairs of eyes..so much to see, if you know what i mean ;) My first experience of the Club and definitely will not be the last. To round off the evening, the after club dance music was excellent. If you are looking for a venue that is good all round entertainment, sexy, fun with great food, then Wam Bam is your place!!!

I wanted something different and fun for a night out with my boyfriend and this definitely is something different and fun. The show was very entertaining and we enjoyed it BUT..... It's on a first come first serve for general seating and we arrived around 7:40p for the 8:00p start and were fortunate enough to get seats right along the rail because a table that was reserved decided to sit elsewhere.
Right after we sat and ordered drinks a lady approached us and asked if the seats behind us were being taken and after telling her they were free we were surrounded by a party of 22 women on a hen night out who were so loud and wouldn't stop talking that it really made for a disappointing experience. The show also advertises from 8-10 but finished 15 minutes early which bummed me out since it really is an entertaining show and the perfect mix of naughty and nice!
The Maitre D really did his best to get us moved but it was a sold out show and we weren't about to give up our incredible spots for seats that weren't that great so sadly we were constantly distracted by women talking and butt's right next to our heads as they mingled with each other.
Tips- If you are a couple or small party either arrive early to get good seats or try and call ahead since there were tables on the second floor with reserved signs. The rail tables are the best!!

This was the first time I had visited a Burlesque show and wow what a show! We were most warmly welcomed right from the start. The food was first class. Drinks reasonable priced and most interesting cocktails to try. The Compare Alex really got the guests in high spirts and worked the room so well. THere were various acts which were all great. Fabulous evening and would both recommended it and come back. The party afterwards was fun too.

I really don't like writing disappointing reviews but unfortunately I was disappointed! :( I wanted to go to Wam Bam club last Christmas but it was fully booked. When the opportunity came to go here for my friends birthday on Saturday I jumped at the chance! The reviews and photographs on the internet looked brilliant. We paid £75 each for a meal and the show. General admission is £35. After travelling two hours by train, getting in our glad rags and heading to the club for our Burlesque dance class I immediately felt uncomfortable. The beautiful ballroom I had pictured from the photographs didn't exist. Instead, I felt as though we were in a function room! The bar area was very small too. We sat down for our meal, our drink orders were taken.....half an hour later, no drinks! The show started, eventually our starters came out. My tortellini was cold and chewy......then we waited, watched the show, waited some more, watched the show. It got to the interval where we went outside for some fresh air, then came back in and got our drinks from the bar because of the slow table service. The show started again and eventually the mains came out. Just as I was tucking in I got told to move because the next act was doing something with fire!! My main was nice but portions very small and by this time I wasn't that hungry anyway. The service really was c***p. The entertainers / dancers looked like they were doing their best but it was lacking. Somebody kept running all over the place with props which was distracting. I am sorry for the bad review but I wasn't impressed and it was such a shame. I hope they manage to brighten the place up a bit and add some 'glam' to this otherwise very average show. Service needs to be way faster too and food should be served in the first half.

I organised a group of us going as part of a hen do. The hen was absolutely thrilled to be going and it certainly didn't disappoint hers or any of our group's expectations. Lady Alex was fabulous and each of the performances were superb. The performances are quite varied so you are teased, amused and amazed throughout the whole evening - I am so pleased we got to see and enjoy the show and I know it made our hen's day. I am going to see if I can organise another group and our partners to go along as there is something for everyone to enjoy!

What an amazing show! Just the right amount of risqué. The acts were entertaining and so talented. The great atmosphere and decor made for a very memorable experience. Each course of the meal was superb. I highly recommend this show to anyone who wants an exciting evening out in London!

We went with friends as couples and we have an amazing night! We wanted something different from the usual shows on our London trip and this didn't let us down.
The acts were great, funny and entertaining. Food was lovely even though we didn't expect much for an event like this. Drinks are very pricey, I would definitely recommend getting the premium tickets to include wine/champers.
When the meal finished we went through to the bar area to wait for the room to be cleared. We then danced the night away!
Brilliant and can't wait to visit again, thank you!!
One down side are the toilets, 3 cubical a is not enough baring in mind ladies will go to the loo in a break probably at the same time. Always a que but didn't ruin it for me :)

This was my second trip to Wam Bam and it did not disappoint - quite the opposite in fact, achieving what I thought was impossible in surpassing the utterly amazing experience I had first time around. The acts were top notch - all of them ridiculously entertaining and the house girls and boys strutted their stuff with wild abandon. And Lady Alex, ever reliable for the incredibly tight ship she runs, hit another home run - myself and my guests laughed so much our stomachs hurt and I'm fairly sure I walked out with a few more ab muscles than I walked in with!
Fantastic atmosphere throughout with the evening culminating in the entire audience dancing at the tables and taking the party into the bar to mix, mingle and jiggle alongside the acts of the night and Lady Alex herself.
Myself and my guests had a fabulous time and we'll most definitely be back for more. Fantastic value for money and the best night out in London we've all had in a very VERY long time.

I can't find any prices for this (dinner and show) - I'm waiting to hear back from them but can anyone let me know in the meantime please?
Written March 3, 2017
If it's at the Royal Albert Hall ring the box Office direct, when the tickets arrived I had issues sorting the food but text Lady Alex direct on the mobile number that's on the website and she sorted it out straight away.

Thinking about book late show Burlesque any tips in seating Booth or stalls? Thanks
Written March 4, 2015
Hi S B delighted you are thinking about coming for the late show. Both seating options are great. The booths are more private and can seat 4-6 people which is nice and private. The stalls seats are with tables and a little closer to the action. You can upgrade seating on the night if you would like. We look forward to seeing you at the show.
