Carnival Cabaret

We live in the desert and this is one of the best entertainment you can see. The whole cast is wonderful, Gypsy is one of the best MC’s around, keeps you laughing from the time he comes out till the end of the show. Never gets boring. Carnival Cabaret is something no one should miss.

Carnival Cabaret is by far and away the best show and entertainment in Palm Springs. Gypsy, the MC, is brilliantly funny, and the impersonators are excellent. Always a great time to share with friends and family. I recommend this show highly!

This show was absolutely to die for amazing. It is hilarious, entertaining, and full of talent. The crowd and vibe were so fun, we got to sit with strangers and left as new friends, enjoyed lots of delicious cocktails. If you do one thing in Palm Springs, go to Carnival Cabaret. I couldn’t believe how amazing it was for the affordable price of the ticket.

Great show, My wife and I have been to see it more than once and each time it was even better than the last (if that’s possible) the cast is awesome. Couldn’t ask for a better dinner/​show, great job to all involved. Can’t wait to see it again.

A must see for locals and great place to brings friends visiting. The ladies are great entertainment and the wit of Gypsy is unmatched. Get ready to have a blast.

My sister and I spent her birthday and Palm Springs this year. On her birthday night we went to the cabaret show. It was so much fun. The performers were excellent it was funny hysterical amusing entertaining and the best night out we had him Palm Springs. Treat yourself. Go to the show

This show is a must for guests visiting and friends alike. I have seen the show multiple times and I’ve lost count. Maybe 8 or 9 times and thoroughly enjoy it every time. Gypsy, the main attraction for many reasons, changes things up with his brilliant commentary and interaction with the crowd. The line up of performers changes weekly as well and I have not tired of the same acts when I see those. My parents as well as friends have all loved it and we’ll keep going back.

The best! I’ve been to a lot of drag shows, and this is simply the best. The first time I went, I was so floored that a year later, when I decided to have a birthday party in Palm Springs, I brought all my friends with me. There were several new numbers from amazing talent — the Judy Garland performer made me tear up both times. Uncanny, lipsyncing perfection.
The emcee, Gypsy, is the funniest, quickest, epitome-​of-​class-​act drag queen I have ever seen. A LEGEND in every sense of the word — you should consider yourself honored to be able to see her perform.
If you are in Palm Springs, do not miss out on this gem of a production.

Went here on a whim, girlfriend was wanting to go. Glad we did! Staff were great, actors were spot on and emcee was terrific. Highly recommend this show! Very classy ending…

My daughter and I loved the entire show! The performers were very entertaining as was the MC. We bought our tickets on Groupon. We also enjoyed our dinner. The entire evening was the highlight of our weekend stay in Palm Springs.

My friends and I were in town celebrating a friend’s 40^th birthday and made reservations to enjoy the show. Carnival Cabaret was entertaining, thoughtful and truly artistic. It was unlike any other drag show that I’ve been to. If you are in town, this show is worth every penny!

My sisters and I took our mom for Mothers day. When reservations were made, my sister let them know we were celebrating her birthday also, He, Jose, said not to worry, they would make it memorable for her… They did Not disappoint!!!
Before the show, we ordered dinner, while it wasn’t anything to write home about, it was very well priced, we had the trio Menu, appetizer, main course and dessert for $ 25.
The show, was in a word, amazing! From the first performer, to the finally, we were, laughing, clapping, cheering, laughing so hard we were in tears. The best was my mom’s reaction to the entire show, she thoroughly enjoyed herself.
Gypsy, a laugh a minute, we had, Dolly, Judy, Reba, Dion, and Whitney brought down the house… And the finally shocking, but so fun!!!
If ever in Palm springs, go, it is worth it, and the show ended early enough that we walked over to the casino afterwards. Everything is in a block or 2 and completely walkable.

Such a blast!!! My boyfriend and I went to this and loved every minute! Gypsy is phenomenal and the rest of the cast is too! A definite must see:)

My friend and I went to Carnival Cabaret on a whim during our weekend in Palm Springs. We were there for the weekend, basically to eat, drink and shop, and we didn’t know what to do at night. We came across an ad for Carnival Cabaret in our hotel room. I was just across the street and only about $ 20 per person.
The area at Oscar’s Restaurant was an intimate stage area, which was perfect for a small show. Our show had two bachelorette parties in the mix. I loved Gypsy (the 84-​year-​old drag queen). Gypsy did an awesome improv stand-​up act, arriving in one beautiful gown after the next! The other acts were famous country and pop stars, and looked great. The show ended with a surprise I had never seen in drag shows before.
As far as the venue, I thought he servers were super nice and service was great, but the food and drinks are not good (not a fault of Carnival Cabaret). I recommend skipping the food and drinking wine or beer. Go out for dinner after the show.
All in all, it was a very enjoyable show and a fun ways to celebrate a bachelorette a birthday or a girls’ night out!

This was a really cool thing to do while in Palm Springs. Everyone was dressed awesome! We were hoping for more singing and less commentary, but it was funny and they got the audience involved which is fun!

Michael and Dan have a gem of a show on their hands. I can’t thank them enough.
But, the Diamond goes to Gypsy and «her gals». Gypsy runs the joint like a boss. Quick quips and fun banter along with giving you a history of the stars, her past, and the show itself. Truly a delight. Love love love!!!
The costumes and numbers were fabulous! Truly remarkable! My mother (yes, I totally took my mother! What? That’s why we get along so well!!) and I had such a great time meeting the cast after the show.
The theater is quaint, the servers were attentive and sweet, and the food was surprisingly awesome. Do yourself a favor and go to the show. Take all your friends and have yourselves a FABBBB-​ulous time! Cheers!

This site is a must see if you’re in Palm Springs. Very entertaining. Gypsy is fabulous with the crowd. Kept us laughing and dancing in our seats. Only wish there were more entertainers so the show wouldn’t end. Dinner was also amazing!

Enjoyed ourselves completely. Kind of an intimate space but made for a great time with the host, Gypsy really having fun with audience members and the show. We’d seen Gypsy at La Cage in Hollywood years ago and he hasn’t lost his touch — not one bit. As quick and clever with comebacks and slinging those jokes and improvs at will. A ‘Mastress of Ceremonies’ is right!
The musical acts and impersonators were great as well. I was told they change up the show headliners so they aren’t repeated. I guess it doesn’t get get old that way but if you are favoring a certain performer, call to verify if they are in the show that night. Loved the country stuff like Dolly and Reba, but Cher and the rest were great. The ending was really classy and smartly done. I won’t give it away.
Would be great for bachelor or bachelorette parties as it would give you a chance to eat, enjoy the show and then go clubbing afterwards without having to devote your whole evening to one place. I think they run the shows Thursday, Friday and Saturday? We went on a Saturday.
Lastly, if you do go, have a drink or two outside in the plaza area ahead of the show, and loosen up your collar and prepare for a lot of fun inside when the show starts. We had a blast. Our server who shall remain nameless (you know who you are) was really fun, but we came in ready to have fun so they played along with us. Probably the crazy hats we had on that did it. Either way, it is nice that the servers got into the spirit of it when a large group is out for a fun time. Made a huge difference. (Sorry if we were a little confused about the tickets.)
Food and drinks all came quickly although one dish was wrong, they fixed it right away. I had the pan-​seared ahi tuna and my friend had the pork chop. Tuna was really good actually. And although sometimes pork chops can be hit or miss, it was pretty good here and not dry. Can’t remember what everyone else had. No one complained but don’t want to speak for anyone else. Have never had breakfast here so cannot review that either.
We came for the show mainly. I’d say you could bring kids technically, but only if they are teens and want to play along with the rowdy aspects of the show. (definitely not suggesting it, but in a pinch, you are probably okay) Other than that, only thing I’d suggest is be medium close to the stage.

Had the best time ever !!! My partner and I took our Aunt there for her Birthday and after a scrumptious dinner and show they presented her with a cake. The whole crowd cheered and my Aunt who turned 76 said it was the best Birthday in her whole life! If you live in the Coachella Valley and have not seen this show, you are definitely missing out.
5 GOLD STARS TO GYPSY AND CREW!

The highlight of my friend’s «last FLING before the RING» bachelorette weekend was Carnival Cabaret. We loved every minute of it. Gypsy was hilarious — he had us laughing from beginning to end — and the impersonations were amazing. Each of us had a personal favorite. There is definitely something for everyone. Our bride-​to-​be was spoiled rotten. We loved it!
I highly recommend Carnival Cabaret and look forward to returning soon.
