Best Variety Show EVER!

by ReinaLamone at Citysearch

I went to visit NYC around the first weekend in June and really wanted to spend my time seeing various shows. When I found out about how long this show had been running, immediately had me hooked. The West Bank Cafe had a nice, friendly, staff, the food and drink was very well priced and the show was AMAZING! each act had a special unique feature that I haven't seen before. Bonnie Dunn has such a way with the audience and made the show! AND the fact that they sell pasties at the end of the show made the night even better! OVERALL AWESOME SHOW!

Exciting and Fun Show!

by PaulOrlando56 at Citysearch

Really entertaining and fun. Intimate and cozy atmosphere which was nice because there was some audience interaction, namely a sex quiz where audience members won burlesque prizes and free tickets. We had dinner, and the food was great. The West Bank Cafe has been in business for 30 something years.

The entertainment consisted of a very funny juggler, a sword swallower lady, sexy burlesque dancers, live music, a mind blowing contortionist.

  • Pros: Great and unusual acts

Fun Evening for a Group Celebration

by Eileen A at Citysearch

Bonnie Dunn is pleasant to deal with and willing to work with a group to make the evening a special celebration. Her show is fun, funny, and diverse. The live music is a good touch. Bonnie's including the audience is also a good touch and contributes to the experience. Unfortunately, much of the contortionist's performance was missed by those not sitting in the front row of tables. Maybe a higher platform for his act would help. I'm glad my group chose Le Scandal for our special evening out. Thanks, Bonnie and group for all your efforts.

  • Pros: Comfortable room, attentive service, fun adult show
  • Cons: Uncomfortable waiting area (line up outside and stairs)
