What changes for visitors in Puerto del Carmen?
The extra Tuesday performance widens the evening programme in the south of Lanzarote. According to Gazette Life, the show at Guapatini’s Show Bar was sold out for weeks and had long waiting lists.
Now there is another chance to see the mix of live singing, comedy, costumes and audience interaction. The venue is on the ground floor of the Centro Atlántico on Avenida de las Playas in Puerto del Carmen, opposite Betty Boops Karaoke.
Doors open at 20:00 and the show starts at 21:00. It lasts approximately 2 hours and 20 minutes.
The performance is entirely in English. According to Gazette Life, it is aimed at visitors of all nationalities looking for English-language entertainment.
Who is on stage?
West End performer Paul Burnham plays the main character, “Contessa Guapatini”. Gazette Life reports that his career ranged from London stages to television appearances before he built the show on Lanzarote.
According to Gazette Life, every performance is played completely live. Musical numbers alternate with comedy and quick interaction with the audience.
As a result, according to the organiser, no evening is the same as another. TripAdvisor shows the show as the #1 thing to do in Puerto del Carmen, with a Badge of Excellence.
That popularity led to the additional Tuesday shows. Seats are likely to stay in demand.
How much does admission cost?
Adults pay 20 euros per ticket, and children up to and including 14 years pay 15 euros. Residents of Lanzarote get the reduced price of 13.50 euros, but must show ID at the door.
According to Club Canary, the resident price covers a maximum of 4 tickets per booking. A resident cannot buy an unlimited number of discounted tickets for guests.
The bar takes card payments only, for bookings and at the bar. Cash is not accepted, so bring a payment card.
How do you reserve a seat?
Book early, especially in the autumn season, because demand is strong. Gazette Life reports sold-out performances and long waiting lists in recent weeks.
You reserve through the organiser’s website. The sources advise not waiting until the last minute.
At the door in the evening, have your booking confirmation and a payment card ready. Residents who want the reduced price also need ID.
What is still open?
The available sources name no end date for the Tuesday extension. They also say nothing about possible changes to prices, cast or schedule after October 2026.
Gazette Life has a 'The Contessa wants you' section about casting. The sources name no application deadline.
