Incredible artists, but the venue needs to improve its infrastructure to offer a bit more comfort, enhancing the quality of the artists and the loyalty of the audience.

Fun drag show, 2 artists performed karaoke. 10 BRL entry fee. It was completely empty at 11 pm, but got super packed around 12 pm. No real service, you always had to go to the bar yourself to get drinks.
