In the ever-evolving book of British comedy, Jim Davidson OBE remains a best-seller, writing new chapters of hilarity that captivate capacity audiences year after year. Despite the relentless attempts of a woke minority to pen his comedic demise, Davidson’s narrative continues to thrive, his fans – the silenced majority – turning
every show into a page-turning success.
As we turn to this brand-new chapter for 2025, Jim invites you to join him for another evening of rip-roaring, grown-up comedy. Witness the ‘General’ in his latest comedic triumph and support him in the ongoing saga against those who seek to rewrite British comedy culture with their radical sensibilities … and he’s got another wedding to pay for!

Viva Arena Shows - FAQs
What are the Seating Plan / Arrangements?
Your seats are reserved and guaranteed for the show.
Our seating plan is a mix of table sizes with tables of 2,4 and 6 and 12 people.
We have different tiers of seating which are represented by different coloured dots (seats) on the plan. Our main room shows have ‘Premier’, ‘Standard’, and ‘Premier-Plus’.
No need to get up to the bar, or wait in queues as we have waiter service running throughout your visit serving drinks and snacks
You can make specific seating requests if you want (i.e. if you don’t want to sit too near to the front!).
You can either select your own seat online, or make the request to the box office operative when booking
Can I get tickets just for the show?
Yes. Tickets for our resident and visiting shows are all for a reserved seat for the show only.
There are various upgrade options available for most shows after you have selected your seats/show ticket type (Adult/Junior etc.) with options to add a dining package, and pre-order drinks options etc.
Whilst we recommend dining with us to get the complete ‘Viva experience’, you can opt to come just for the show by selecting a ‘Show Only’ ticket which is a reserved seat for the show.
Does Viva cater for groups?
We LOVE groups.
Viva is a perfect destination for a party, or a group. With different table sizes (2s, 4s, 6s, 10s and 12s) and a flexible layout meaning we can add tables together, or seat in the same area of the room – we can cater for any private party requirement within our big show atmosphere.
Group discounts are available for bookings of 10 people more more. Discounts will automatically apply at checkout.
Group Discounts
-10 people or more – 10%
20 people or more – 12.5%
30 people or more – 15%
When booking dining as a group, we’re likely to need your menu options before your visit (for groups of 10 or more people.)
Please click here and send an enquiry to our Groups Specialist if you’d like help putting together a package for your booking
What is the Viva venue like?
Our Cabaret Theatre at Viva is a spacious, modern and comfortable venue which seats up to 650 people.
The stage is large, but close to the front tables – and all guests will feel like their part of the show with tables of various sizes.
You’re free to get up and dance around the table if you want to (as long as you don’t spoil the view for anyone else), and you can move around the room freely during the performance (relaxed space policy)
If you’ve ordered pre-ordered dining – then you’ll dine in your show seats before the curtain goes up on the performance.
