Venue for The Boat Show – The Tattershall Castle, Victoria Embankment, London SW1A 2HR..
The Tattershall Castle is a beautifully refurbished paddle steamer, permanently moored on the Embankment just opposite the London Eye. It’s a short 5-minute walk from Westminster and Embankment Tube stations with views over Big Ben and the London Eye.
The Tattershall Caste is permanently moored so does not travel down the river, although you may feel it gently bob now and then. The shows are below deck so are inside, and we have air-con or heating depending on the weather.
Tube – The nearest tubes are Westminster & Embankment, both about 5 minutes walk away.
Train – Charing Cross (350 yards from the station). Turn right out of the station and head down Villiers Street, through Embankment Station and over to the riverside. Turn right towards Westminster. We are just across the Hungerford foot bridge from Waterloo station ( about 7 mins walk)

Do you serve food?
Food is available before the show at the venue. We recommend contacting the venue directly in advance if you wish to have a sit-down meal with them before the show.
Alternatively you can order from their Bar Menu, or their fish & chip shop on deck. Please note that no hot food is allowed in the comedy club, so please arrive early if you wish to eat.
We offer a Two Course Meal Deal for our weekend shows, including a two-course meal at 6pm, followed by comedy and nightclub. These can be booked by clicking “Buy Tickets” on the selected dates.
Group bookings
We are happy to accommodate group bookings, but respectfully ask that groups follow the rules of the club as other guests do.
Bookings of 8 or more will be asked for a behaviour bond of £5 per person on arrival. They will also be asked to sign an agreement stating that the guests will not heckle, persistently talk during the acts or otherwise disturb the show.
You can read the agreement here: https://bit.ly/BoatBehaviourBond
We will return the behaviour bond at the end of the night and will only retain it if one or more of your party are asked to leave for breaking the rules of the agreement. In six years of doing this we have only had to keep two of these bonds, and it helps maintain a nice friendly atmosphere for the show.
Please inform us if you are booking a group of 20 or more, or a single sex party of 10 or more.
Dress code and guest behaviour
Dress code – We have a relaxed dress code, but ask guests not to wear fancy dress (including sashes and hats), workwear and sportswear (such as tracksuits bottoms and football shirts). Guests may not be admitted to the venue if they fail to follow these guidelines. Trainers and jeans are allowed.
Guest behaviour – During the show we ask guests to avoid talking during the performance as this can disturb other guests and the performer. Heckling is not permitted. Please treat staff, other guests and comedians with respect. Filming and flash photography is not allowed. Guests who persistently break these rules will be asked to leave by security and will not be refunded.
Behaviour Bond Policy – To help maintain the friendly atmosphere at the club we ask groups of 8 or more to sign a behaviour bond at the start of the night. This bond states that the party agrees not to heckle the comedians, persistently talk during the acts, disturb the show or use foul or abusive language towards guests or staff. With this bond we ask for a cash deposit to be held during the show of £5 per person. We will only retain this if one or more of your party are asked to leave for breaking the agreement, otherwise it will be returned to you at the end of the show.
Accessibility
Unfortunately there are 4 flights of stairs to access the venue and therefore it is not fully wheelchair accessible. There are also no disabled toilets available.
We offer a free ticket for guests who require a carer, please contact us to arrange this. For any accessibility enquires please contact Jack on 07932 658895 or drop him an email here: jack@bluebookam.com.
