Forbidden Nights Show and After Party

Imagine a night where you’re invited to leave your inhibitions at the door and be part of a lively, glamorous spectacle in one of London’s most iconic venues. For just around $32.23 per person, you get a 3-hour experience that combines the thrill of a male revue with a vibrant after-party at Infernos in Clapham. This is not your typical night out — it’s a mix of raunchy choreographed dance routines, male acrobats, fire acts, and aerial artistes—all set in a lively club environment that encourages interaction and fun.

We love that the experience is pre-booked, which means no waiting in line and a guaranteed spot for an evening filled with entertainment. The show promises a high-energy, interactive atmosphere that’s perfect for celebrating hens nights, birthdays, or just a wild girls’ night out with friends. The venue itself, Infernos, is renowned for its vibrant party scene, making it a fitting backdrop for this daring performance.

A key consideration is that the event isn’t designed as a sit-back-and-watch affair; some reviews mention the crowd can be lively, and sightlines might not always be perfect if you’re standing in a crowded room. Also, it’s not suitable for under 18s and not recommended for people with epilepsy, so plan accordingly.

This tour is best suited for groups of friends seeking a bold, fun, and memorable night. If you’re eager for a show that combines entertainment with a lively after-party, this experience offers excellent value and a chance to dance until dawn if you wish.

The Venue: Infernos in Clapham

The show takes place at Infernos, one of London’s large, renowned party venues in Clapham, famous for its vibrant atmosphere and lively crowds. The venue’s size and energy create an ideal setting for a male revue that’s as much about interaction as performance. Guests are encouraged to sing, dance, and participate, making it more than just a passive viewing experience.

The Show Itself

Once inside, we’re greeted by a dynamic lineup of performers. The performance includes male dance routines that are both polished and cheeky. The choreography is punchy and fun, with some routines designed to be flirtatious and playful, perfectly suited for a girls’ night out.

What truly sets this apart are the special acts—male acrobats, fire-eaters, and aerial artistes—which add a flair of circus-style entertainment to the evening. These acts demonstrate strength, agility, and a bit of daring, keeping the audience captivated.

Interaction and Atmosphere

Unlike traditional shows, Forbidden Nights encourages audience participation. From the reviews, some guests mention that the show is lively and encourages them to sing and dance along. This can be a hit or miss depending on your group’s comfort level, but it definitely adds to the overall fun.

The ticket includes full access to the show and the after-party. After the main performance, the fun continues with a free entry to a retro-style disco, where you can dance until late. This seamless transition from show to dancefloor ensures you get value for your ticket, turning a simple evening into a full-fledged celebration.

The After-Party

The after-party at London’s retro disco is a highlight for many. It’s an excellent chance to mingle with performers, dance to classic hits, and extend your night of fun. This combination—show plus after-party—is a terrific way to maximize your night and get more bang for your buck.

Considerations and Caveats

While the experience is designed to be fun and interactive, some reviews point out potential drawbacks. For example, one reviewer describes the production as “pretty low budget” with lack of management to keep people seated, which made it difficult to see the stage clearly. This suggests that sightlines could be compromised if you’re in a crowded room or standing in the back.

Security at the venue was also mentioned as slightly “expeditive,” so if you prefer a more relaxed entry process, keep this in mind. The venue does have a door host and stage manager, but during peak times, crowds can be lively and boisterous.

Pricing and Value

At approximately $32.23, this experience offers an affordable night of entertainment. Compared to other London nightlife options, it provides a lot of fun packed into three hours, especially considering the after-party is included. It’s a great value for celebrating a special occasion or simply wanting a memorable night out.

Who Is This Best For?

This experience is ideal for groups of friends, particularly hens parties or birthdays, who are comfortable with a lively, somewhat provocative atmosphere. It’s also perfect for those who enjoy interactive entertainment and casual, high-energy venues. If you’re looking for a polished, high-brow show, this might not be your style; but if you want a fun, daring night with plenty of opportunities to dance and socialize, this is a solid choice.
