- AuroraMonroe121Lincolnshire, United Kingdom630 contributionsCheesy Bingo! Fabulous night outA friend mentioned Cheesey Bingo, never heard of it but thought it would be a great way to spend a girls night out. Venue is in a great location. Loads of parking round the back. Drinks reasonably priced. Staff friendly and toilets clean! The main stage area had all the tiered seating pushed back and rows of table were laid out in rows. The bingo is hosted by 2 funny, charismatic and entertaining hosts. You play 1 game of bingo for either a line or a full house and the prizes are huge inflatables. Sounds naff, but by the end of the 1st game all that matters is that you want to win a HUGE inflatable :-) Lots of cheesey pop songs played throughout and you're encouraged to dance and copy dance moves. After every game there's a chance to dance to maybe 5-8 songs, get a drink, toilet break etc. The whole atmosphere is like a huge girls night out, there were a few token men there too. Its the most hilarious event and if you love to laugh,dance, sing and have a fabulous night I would highly recommend thisVisited April 2023Travelled with friendsWritten 12 May 2023
- Louise E10 contributionsAmazing!!Went to see Fastlove (George Michael Tribute) last night with my Mum and oh my god it was amazing!!! “George” and his band got everyone going and it was truly an incredible night. We had great seats and it was all a very smooth experience from scanning our tickets to getting snacks and being seated. Always wanted to go to the Embassy and so happy I finally did! Free parking around the back of the venue was excellent too. The snacks and drinks were very fairly priced to our surprise. Well worth a visit if you are in Skegness! Thank you for a wonderful night! 💕Visited August 2023Travelled with familyWritten 6 August 2023

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Had a really enjoyable show Saturday night The Drifters as we always do when we come but I must say the lads doing security were brill well done. For moving a gentleman from near me who decided to sit on the steps blocking exit etc ( my son a health and safety exec ) so afraid wherever I go now I look at H& S also coming to tell people not to record on phones still unsure about you letting them bring drinks in although in plastic glasses ( they still get spilt trying to get to their seats ) but as I say thanks security and all staff that makes this theatre a lovely place to visit see you soon

Nice venue not as busy as I expected it to be, it had a couple of hen dos going on who really got into the swing of things, they didn’t sit down all night. We paid £25 each for the gold experience and if I’m honest it wasn’t worth the money. The lad that served us was great and looked after us though.

I would like to see more rock bands - tributes booked like in 2014 Deep Purple with ZZ Top, AC/DC Livewire - which were
excellent. All very well having tribute singing acts from the 1950s and 60s but would be great to have some great live music as well.
Also I found in my second year here in Skegness that the same acts are booked back again. More variety needed to suit all tastes.

Great news about Live Wire, thank you for booking them again. We also enjoyed the Status Quo tribute and Roy Wood and his band were fantastic. Will look online tomorrow to see if Live Wire has been added to the website to book. Cheers
