Frequently Asked Questions

Is there an age limit?

There is no strict age limit for our shows, but we generally recommend them for guests ages 13 and up. The majority of attendees are adults, and our performances carry a PG-10 to PG-13 rating. While there is no swearing or graphic content, the show does include some adult humor and innuendos that younger audiences may not fully appreciate. We do not offer a children's menu or reduced pricing for younger guests.

What should I wear?

There's no formal dress code — dinner casual is perfectly appropriate for any of our shows. That said, dressing to the theme is always a fun option, and we do hand out a Best Costume award at the end of the evening. Whether you come dressed to impress or keep it casual, you'll fit right in.

How are we seated?

Seating is handled by our host at the door based on party size. Tables accommodate between 4 and 10 guests, so make sure your whole group arrives and queues up together to ensure everyone is seated side by side for the full experience.

Is the show appropriate for kids?

We recommend our shows for guests ages 13 and up. There's no graphic content or profanity, but the performances do include adult humor and innuendos that may not be suitable for younger children. Most attendees are adults, and there is no kids' menu or difference in ticket pricing for younger guests.

Can we book a private event?

Absolutely! Private events are a fantastic option for birthdays, corporate outings, holiday gatherings, and more. Give us a call at (888) 643-2583 to connect with one of our event planners, who will walk you through everything involved in putting together a private party.
