"My vision for Club Cumming has always been to create the ethos of old New York nightlife: A place for all ages, all genders, all colors, all sexualities, where kindness is all and anything can happen. It's a cabaret club but also a dance club, a drag club, an art club, a community center, a safe space-it's whatever the LGBTQ+ community needs and wants it to be."
"Club Cumming goes behind the scenes of the Emmy-winning actor's beloved gay bar and nightclub, which opened on Manhattan's Lower East Side in 2017. The venue also regularly makes headlines for surprise appearances from high-profile celebrities like Debbie Harry, and even Paul McCartney."
Club Cumming, a gay bar and nightclub on Manhattan's Lower East Side opened in 2017, is the subject of a new six-part docuseries produced by the team behind RuPaul's Drag Race. The series follows diverse performers and employees as they develop their craft, pursue goals, and navigate relationships in New York City. Alan Cumming mentors multiple performers including Daphne Always, Michelle Wynters, Brini Maxwell, Cunning Stunt, and Jake Cornwell throughout the episodes. The venue has attracted high-profile celebrity appearances from figures like Debbie Harry and Paul McCartney. Cumming envisioned Club Cumming as a sanctuary combining cabaret, dance, drag, and art while serving as a community center and safe space for the LGBTQ+ community.
