Festive burlesque revue with showgirls, comedy, vintage vaudeville and circus, inspired by a 1930s Berlin nightclub.
Hundred Watt Club returns to Gloucester Guildhall on Friday 4 December, their festive burlesque revue for the 2026 season. It's one of the UK's longest-running burlesque nights, and the club is particularly known for its Christmas entertainment, which they describe as seductive, sublime and just the right side of ridiculous.
The whole thing draws on the gin-drenched halcyon days of a grimy Berlin nightclub in the 1930s, and the result is a riotous blend of glittering showgirls, cheeky comedy, vintage vaudeville and jaw-dropping circus, all wrapped in festive sparkle. It's a variety night in the truest sense, so you'll see a few different acts rather than one single performance. Glamorous, vintage attire is encouraged, though it's not enforced, so you can lean into the dress code if you fancy it.

There are a few practical things to keep in mind before you book. The evening is for ages 18 and over, and the content guidance notes strong language, adult themes, partial nudity, loud noises and flashing lights, so it's a good idea to have those in mind. The show starts at 20:00 at Gloucester Guildhall, 23 Eastgate Street, GL1 1NS. Tickets are £19 in advance and £22 on the door.
