Fiona Mullen A thoroughly brilliant night! Haven’t laughed so much in ages and loved the music, singing and dancing. Well worth getting wet on the way home! Congratulations
Jean HollowayI went on the opening night, last night. It was brilliant. And dare I say it, better than last year. Well done everyone.
Irene King CELEBRATION !!!! Babbacombe Theatre, you certainly can celebrate, what a show ! absolutely fun and laughter all the way, and Kidz and Co., BRILLIANT, loved the whole show. In this awful weather cheer yourselves up go and see this fabulous show, well done everyone you gave us a great night. Before the show we ate at the Babbacombe Inn again a great meal.
Fiona Mullen Hi my friends and I were staying nearby and decided to book for your show. We spent the evening amazed at the dancing, singing, magic show and comedy sketches. We enjoyed joining in the singing and laughed so much! Despite the wet walk home we really enjoyed our evening and recommend your show highly!
Alex Battershill Colin Matthews you have done it again last night was the best ever IMO and I have been coming for years.
A show full of fantastic comedy and sketches, a slick magician also absolutely brilliant singing from the soloists but also the whole cast, a special mention the Kidz & Co. For a first night everything was fantastic and professional showing the teamwork put in at rehearsals.
All held together by the superb comedian singer Steve Laister.
This show deserves full house every night.
HAPPY 40th ANNIVERSARY AND CONGRATULATIONS to Colin Mathews

Ian E ***** ‘Celebration’ – A fantastic show. Just seen the new 2026 season show ‘Celebration’ what a superb evening of entertainment. Some absolutely stunning, West End quality, performances. A show not to be missed. An evening of true variety. Music, dance, comedy and magic.
Please go and see it. Don’t miss out.
Elaine Cowley ***** The new show ‘Celebrations’ which will run from February to October is excellent. The hotel where I’m staying organised a visit for us, and I’m so glad I signed up for it. An old-fashioned seaside variety show, put on by a very talented team.

Josie C – We all had such a lovely time watching CELEBRATION, every performance was amazing and so entertaining! My boys, (aged 10 & 12) said the same and thoroughly enjoyed it too, even if a few of the jokes were perhaps a little above their age range! 😉 One of the nicest parts of the evening was simply having the chance to spend quality time with my boys, enjoying something together away from screens and devices—which feels quite rare these days.
