A bank holiday weekend of samba, sparkle & spectacle: Copacabana brings carnival to The London Cabaret Club
This August Bank Holiday, Carnival Special Copacabana at The London Cabaret Club is the ultimate way to celebrate Carnival weekend in the heart of London with all the feathers, rhythm and heat of Notting Hill in a seated, show-stopping setting.
In three scintillating acts, audiences will be transported from the golden sands of Rio to the bright lights of New York, blending tropical beats, flamboyant costumes, and bold, Brazilian spirit. Expect high-energy dance numbers, live music from an electrifying Latin band, and breathtaking moments under swaying palms and pulsating strobe lights.
The show features timeless classics like The Girl from Ipanema, Samba Do Brasil, Conga, Oye, Besame Mucho, and I Like It Like That, with live vocals, samba-fuelled choreography, and unforgettable storytelling all combining for a sizzling night of Latin passion and flair. Guests are welcomed with tropical cocktails on a beach-inspired terrace before stepping into The Ballroom, where dynamic dancers, cha-cha, merengue, and carnival magic set the tone for a night to remember.
Created with authenticity and flair by Head Chef Burim Aslannaj, a sumptuous gourmet three-course menu will tantalise taste buds, with standout dishes including Seared Salmon with zesty citrus notes, Argentinian Beef Fillet, Stuffed Zucchini Flower, and the heavenly Basque Cheesecake.
Signature cocktails such as the Jaguar’s Gaze (mezcal, fig liqueur, passionfruit), the indulgent Rio Vice (coconut rum, strawberry, lime), and the namesake Copacabana cocktail – a zesty blend of Leblon Cachaça, pineapple, mango, and lime, will immerse guests in the hedonistic spirit of Rio.
With creative direction by Venezuelan-born Doni Fierro, the show captures the vibrant energy and elegance of Latin American culture through spectacular choreography, costuming and an unrelenting sense of celebration.
Creative Director of The London Cabaret Club, Doni Fierro, said: “With Copacabana, we wanted to bottle the joy, rhythm, and spirit of Latin America and pour it into every moment. This year, as London pulses with carnival energy and Brazilian bands around Notting Hill weekend, we’re turning up the heat even more. From the choreography and music through to the colours, flavours, and atmosphere, it isn’t just a West End show – it’s a celebration of life, and we invite guests to be part of it from the moment they walk through our doors.”
Tickets start from £42, including pre-show entertainment, the main show, and access to The London Cabaret Club’s legendary afterparty - an extravagant summer fiesta inviting guests to dance into the night. Gold, Diamond, and Royal Diamond packages offer gourmet dining, champagne, and VIP seating for the ultimate indulgence.
Carnival Special Copacabana will run on Friday 22nd and Saturday 23rd August 2025. For further information or to book tickets, visit: thelondoncabaretclub.com/copacabanacarnival
