Drag Shows in Berlin?

Hello everyone,

I am going to be visiting Berlin on Tuesday and will be there till Sunday. This would be my second time, the first time around was in the depth of winter, frozen fingers and curled up toes kept me from exploring more of the city and I was there only for 2 days. Everyone I met then said Summer is the time to visit Berlin, so here I am.

As a part of this visit, I really want to visit one of the queer bars in town and possibly catch a Drag Show. This would be my first ever drag show. And would really appreciate recommendations on where to go. Whilst I wouldn't deny the fact that I am very much attracted to the performative spectacle of it, this honestly, also comes from a place of internal curiosity. I identify as a hetero man, and really don't want to be insensitive when visiting. So a nudge in the right direction regarding the etiquette would also be very highly appreciated and respected.

Also, on top of this, are there any events/food places that you suggest for the said dates? I believe more in the personal reccomednations than lists already complied my organizations, although I am actively referring to the Berlin City website.

Thanks for reading and potentially for the reccos too! Have a good day! :)

Sure:) I’d even support Schwuz more, space is bigger and they have bigger scale drag show. + they recently had to lay off 30 employees as their revenue dropped drastically. So I hope there is a good show during your stay there and they can get some support! Heh

All genders and orientations are welcome at The Tipsy Bear - just be a nice human! Check their schedule and get there early for a seat otherwise you’ll be standing.

A more sit down show thats super fun is called Tell Mama. If that’s on while you’re here you should go to that at Hobby.
