You’ll share laughter, music, and dinner with friends (and strangers) at the Stardust drag dinner show near Famagusta. From hotel pickup to unlimited drinks and live performances by international drag queens and vocalists, every moment feels playful and welcoming — especially when you catch yourself singing along.
Li from the hotel desk grinned when I told her we’d booked the Stardust Variety Dinner Show. “You’ll love it — just don’t sit too close if you’re shy!” she winked. The minibus rolled through Famagusta’s evening haze, everyone a little quiet at first. But by the time we reached Vrysoules, I could hear someone behind me humming ‘I Will Survive’ under their breath. The Stardust cast was already outside — sequins everywhere — waving us in like old friends. I’m not usually one for photos but somehow ended up sandwiched between two queens taller than my dad (and he’s 6’3”).
Dinner was roast chicken with potatoes and Yorkshire pudding — honestly, better than I expected for a show meal (the gravy reminded me of Sunday back home). There were vegan options too; my friend tried one and said it was decent, though she kept eyeing my stuffing. When the lights dropped around 8:45pm, the room changed completely. Suddenly there was Beyoncé strutting across the stage (well, almost), and Freddie Mercury belting out ‘Don’t Stop Me Now’. Our local guide had warned us about audience participation but I still jumped when Dolly winked right at our table. The comedy bits were a mix of sharp and silly — at one point my cheeks hurt from laughing so much.
I didn’t expect to feel so… included? There’s something about sharing bad jokes and big songs with strangers that makes you forget you’re even on a day trip from Famagusta to see a drag show. On the ride back, everyone was swapping favorite moments — some people still singing quietly as we pulled up to our hotels. I keep thinking about how bright those costumes looked under the lights, or maybe it was just how happy everyone seemed for a couple hours.
