Chantal's House of Shame

Chantal's House of Shame is Berlin's longest-running gay club night, a weekly institution since 1999. It has become a fixture of the city's queer week, presided over by its namesake drag hostess and her cast of performers.

The party runs at the Lokschuppen on the RAW site in Friedrichshain, the venue better known for years as Suicide Circus. Expect drag shows, a mixed and unpretentious crowd, and DJs playing pop, disco and electro, with the night carrying on until well after sunrise.

It is trashy, warm and gloriously chaotic, and it has outlasted almost every other party of its generation in Berlin.
