Planning a night out in Marmaris? If you’re curious about experiencing local nightlife with a twist, the Talk of The Town Show offers a lively evening that many travelers find worth considering. While it’s not a full-scale production, it promises a fun, engaging, and family-friendly atmosphere that can add a splash of entertainment to your holiday.
What I love about this experience is the convenience of included transportation—no fuss about how to get there or back—and the inclusive dinner that keeps the evening relaxed and hassle-free. Plus, the lively atmosphere and charismatic performers deliver a good dose of humor and fun.
On the flip side, a possible drawback is the sound quality—some guests have pointed out that the acoustics could be better, which might affect how much you catch of the vocal talent. Also, the food, while decent, isn’t necessarily the highlight, especially if you’re expecting a gourmet meal.
All in all, this tour tends to suit those looking for a lighthearted, inexpensive night out with friendly entertainment—perfect for travelers who enjoy a lively show, a good laugh, and don’t mind a casual dinner.

What to Expect from the Talk of The Town Show

We’ll take you through what this experience looks like, what you’ll enjoy, and what’s worth keeping in mind.
While in Marmaris, here are other experiences we've covered
The Venue and Atmosphere
The show is held in a venue described as cool and tastefully decorated, which helps set a relaxed, inviting tone. It’s a space that feels welcoming, and the staff are noted as friendly, adding to the comfort of the evening. The audience is likely to be a mix of travelers and locals, all there to have a good time.
The Show: A Drag Variety Experience
The core of the night is a drag cabaret featuring the Marmaris Playgirls. It’s a fast-paced, family-friendly performance that combines humor, costumes, and lively entertainment. Guests are encouraged to join in the fun, making it a lively, interactive evening.
Guests have described the show as entertaining and funny with great performers. However, some reviews note that the show’s length—nearly three hours—means it’s quite a long sit, especially if you’re not used to such performances.
Sound and Vocal Quality
One common point from reviews is that while the performers are talented, the sound quality could be better. The acoustics aren’t perfect, and there’s a tendency for the show to rely heavily on lip-syncing, with only some parts featuring live vocals. Since this is a cabaret-style show, expect a mix of both, but don’t go expecting a concert-quality experience.
More Great Tours NearbyDinner and Drinks
As part of the package, you’ll be served chicken and chips with a salad, along with a local drink. It’s simple fare, but I’d say it’s enough to enjoy while watching the show without feeling hungry. The reviews suggest that the food is decent, though not remarkable, and some felt it wasn’t quite worth the money in terms of culinary quality.
You won’t find all drinks included, so if you’re after wine, cocktails, or soft drinks, you’ll need to purchase those separately.

Do note that the service doesn’t cover certain hotels like Adakoy or Turunc, so if you’re staying there, you might need to make other arrangements.
Pricing and Value
At $50 per person, the tour is priced reasonably, especially considering that it includes transportation, dinner, and entertainment. It’s a straightforward way to spend an evening out without the extra fuss of planning each element separately.
While the food isn’t the highlight, the value is in the entertainment and convenience—especially if you’re looking for a relaxed, fun night with minimal hassle.
What Do Reviewers Say?

Guests generally find the show entertaining and funny, with highlights being the performances themselves. One reviewer mentioned, “show was entertaining and funny but food was not worth the money,” pointing to the entertainment as the real draw.
Another praised the venue as “tastefully decorated,” and the staff as “friendly,” adding to a positive overall vibe. However, they also pointed out that audio issues and the over-reliance on lip-syncing can detract from the experience, especially during a show that lasts nearly three hours.
So, while most agree the performers are talented and the experience offers good value, expectations should be tempered regarding sound quality and the food.

It’s also suitable if you’re traveling with friends or a group looking for a fun, inexpensive night with a splash of humor and color.
