Canggu: Drag Show with Dinner

Amazing drag show at Inklusiv, hosted by a deaf girl who also teached is some sign language. Really fun show with a lot of interaction.

A fantastic experience and a great place spreading knowledge, awareness and welcoming to the queer and deaf community in Indonesia!

Amazing show, funny and beautiful queens!

Beautiful place to eat. Some of the staff are deaf and they helped you with everything, will show you some signs of you want to learn. Communication is very good!

Delicious food and very fun drag queens! They actually know the words!

Very inclusive and entertaining

absolutely incredible experience I’m going to recommend it to everyone I know going to Bali!! these people deserve all your love and admiration!!

Mediocre food for an exorbitant high price. The menu shows that tax and service fee will be added. This is common in Bali. However, the tax percentage isn't specified. Government tax is always 10% but service fee is made up by each restaurant and can be any amount from 5% to 11% and even more. However, people should eat here to financially support a disadvantaged community. Unfortunately, the concept of this place with it's dragshow doesn't make sense and is hugely insulting for disadvantaged as well as queer people. The dragshow is for the deaf and queer community. My goodness, why is the queer community compared with deaf people and disadvantaged people? Deaf and blind people are disadvantaged, not the queer people. Queer people are not disabled. They have the same capabilities as straight people. That they have a preference for the same gender doesn't make them disadvantaged. It's hugely insulting to compare queer people with disadvantaged people. The dragshow starts with a deaf lady and in the restaurant work deaf people. It's great to give these people the same opportunities as other people. However, then the dragshow continues with three males dressed in female outfit. This has nothing to do with deaf and disadvantaged people. Moreover, it's not made clear what disadvantaged community is financially supported. It seems that the profit from the restaurant and dragshow simply is for the owner of this place. Visitors eat here and come to the dragshow to financially support the deaf and queer community. What organisation is supported??? No mention of any organisation is made! It's great to financially support disadvantaged communities as they have less opportunities in life, but why should the queer community be financially supported. To show the world that queer and straight people should be treated in the same way, and hence, to show respect for all human beings is great. But people with the same capabilities as anybody can support their own life. So, there's no reason to financially support queer people unless they are deaf, blind or in other ways disabled!

I booked this as a little solo night out in Canggu through Viator. With the discount, I was only out about $5, so let me establish that upfront: for $5, I definitely got a story. 😂 One thing I would clarify for future guests: the booking is advertised as a drag show with dinner, but dinner is NOT included. The “dinner” portion of the experience is actually a drink. If you are expecting a meal, you will need to purchase food separately. That was not what I understood from the booking description. The venue is upstairs and has an interesting concept. They employ deaf staff and incorporate ASL into the experience by teaching guests the alphabet, asking where you’re from, and teaching a few basic statements. I thought that was genuinely thoughtful and appreciated seeing a venue intentionally creating employment opportunities for deaf employees. Now for the plot twist: I was the ONLY guest. 😂 Not the only solo traveler. Not the only person sitting by myself. The entire audience was me. So naturally, all of the guest participation was directed at me. 😂 I was learning the ASL alphabet, answering where I was from, learning basic statements, etc. It was fine, but being the sole audience member made the whole thing feel a little unusual. At one point I had to laugh because there was literally no one else for them to interact with. The promotional screen showed what appeared to be four performers, but during my visit I only saw two. The show itself was okay, but with only two performers and one audience member, the atmosphere was understandably different from what I expected when I booked a dinner-and-drag-show experience. Then came happy hour: BOGO drinks. Of course I participated. 😂 I ordered two drinks with Canggu-themed names, but unfortunately neither was good. They also didn’t seem to taste like they were made from the same recipe, so that part was a miss for me. And then came the finale. Suddenly, a group appeared who seemed to already know the entertainers, and everyone ended up onstage together for a YMCA finale. 😂 At that point, the whole evening took on the feeling of watching a group of friends have their own little celebration. Was it the big Canggu night out I envisioned? No. Was it memorable? Absolutely. I appreciated the venue’s commitment to employing deaf staff and introducing guests to basic ASL, and I also appreciated getting to experience something completely different while traveling solo. Would I book it again as a solo traveler? Probably not. But considering I paid around $5, I can’t complain too much. I got out of the villa, had a few laughs, experienced something different, and now I have a pretty funny travel story. Final verdict: an inexpensive, unusual little adventure—but chile, I could have just villa’d. 😂
