This immersive theatrical show has not only become the longest-running production at the Adelaide Fringe but also tours globally, bringing the chaos and hilarity of the Fawlty Towers universe to life.
While the original TV series aired only 12 episodes, its influence endures, proving that some comedy truly stands the test of time. Faulty Towers The Dining Experience has taken that legacy and transformed it into a dining adventure where audiences step into the world of Basil, Sybil, and Manuel—and become part of the punchlines.
The enduring appeal of Fawlty Towers lies in its sharp writing, unforgettable characters, and hilarious exploration of the chaos behind a seaside hotel. The dynamics between the perpetually stressed Basil, the no-nonsense Sybil, and the hapless Manuel remain irresistibly funny.
Faulty Towers The Dining Experience captures this magic, allowing audiences to relive—and participate in—the comedic mayhem. Whether it’s an argument breaking out across the room or a waiter dropping plates in spectacular style, the show places you at the heart of the action.
