The first rule of the Clubhouse is simple: you’re not invited. The second rule reiterates this point – you really are not invited. The Clubhouse is the exclusive set where Andy Cohen hosts Bravo’s popular late-night show, Watch What Happens Live. It’s notoriously difficult to score a spot as an audience member, with tickets not available for purchase or through a lottery system. You have to know someone or beg for a chance to attend. Despite the challenges, I had the opportunity to attend the show twice, thanks to Bravo inviting me and my wife after I wrote about the network’s growing popularity in 2023.
Attending the Clubhouse requires filling out forms and agreeing to unknown rules, along with receiving emails about what to wear. On the day of the taping, you line up with other audience members outside a nondescript office building in Lower Manhattan. Once inside, you’re given drink tickets and led to the sixth floor where the show is filmed.
The experience is as fun and intimate as you’d imagine, with guests like Lindsay Hubbard, Gabby Prescod, Joel Kim Booster, and Teresa Giudice making appearances. As an audience member, you feel like part of the show, with the opportunity to interact with the guests and watch the filming process up close. Andy Cohen’s pre-show Q&A session is a highlight, offering fans a chance to ask questions and share in the excitement of being in the Clubhouse.
Overall, attending Watch What Happens Live at the Clubhouse is a memorable and exciting experience, offering fans a unique glimpse into the world of Bravo and its beloved stars.
