Kitty Su, The LaLit Mumbai
What makes Kitty Su stand out from the rest of the nightclubs in Mumbai is that it provides an opportunity for artists inclusive of the LGBTQIA+ community who perform drag. It proudly calls itself an ‘all-inclusive’ safe space for all.
Apart from drag events, Kitty Su also hosts corporate events, stand-up comedy nights, and special events that include pre-Diwali parties, pre-Christmas parties and other events like birthdays, anniversaries etc.
The club also collaborates with fresh talents — singers, performers, and artists of all genres to perform live. This not only keeps the patrons entertained but also helps the young artists to gain the right visibility.
