Madam Lola's at Madam Lola's Cabaret & Vaudeville
About this space
Madam Lola's is the UK's only artist-led cabaret, built and run by the performers and technicians working at the very top of UK production, from the country's best cabaret rooms to the Brit Awards and international specialist events.
The venue is a landmark 1892 Grade II listed building crowned by a 7.5m copper Indo-Saracenic dome in the heart of Kemptown, Brighton, licensed seven days a week until 2am.
We're the only venue in Brighton with a full aerial rig, high-spec winch and specialist performer flying system, installed by technicians whose credits include The Greatest Showman. Our cocktail team came from The Box in London and brought Babel Brighton to life, and they've built a speciality cocktail list you won't find anywhere else in the city.

How hire works

If you want a custom-built show, or a private performance of our in-house production, that's what we do best. We work with the leading performers internationally, and we'd put this room up against any show in London.
