Frequently asked questions
Does the boat sail along the river or is it stationary?
The boat does not travel down the river, it's moored, so it stays in the same location.
Is the boat wheelchair accessible?
The boat has 3 flights of stairs to get to the show, ranging from around 10-15 steps each; therefore, it is not wheelchair accessible.

A great time was had by all. Contact with Jack before the day was reassuring and he gave us all of the details to make us feel confident we would have a great time.
Check in at the boat as a bit chaotic which was the only negative point of the day.
The food was very good and the comedy was brilliant - four really good comedians.
The night was topped off with lots of dancing.

We had a brilliant night out for my sister in law's commitment hen do. The food was good quality and decent size, the comedy show was fun and the acts and MC were great, and then we danced the night away at the end. Staff were friendly and attentive both for dinner, during the show and at the nightclub part, including the security guards. I would highly recommend it. One piece of feedback is that the comedy events team needs to make sure it communicates reservations for food back to the restaurant staff as our booking was not there for some reason, even though I had booked over a month before we went and I had a text to confirm the reservation on the morning of the booking.

Had the most amazing time for my husbands 40th birthday celebarations! The comedy show was hilarious throughout the atmosphere was great the setting on the river Thames the music on the top deck and the London scenic views of the London eye Big Ben etc was the icing on the cake! Not very often do you get to dance across the river from the London eye. Just an awesome night would recommend to anybody will definitely be going back!

It was a great night the comedy show was really good. However the actual meal reservation part was not as smooth sailing as they could not find the reservation, I presented the confirmation in my email and thankfully they managed to sort something out but overall a good night
