Drag queen

What: All the party goers in Delhi, block your dates, as New York’s ultimate drag queen Peppermint is all set to perform here in the city. ‘Techno meets drag: Peppermint’ will raise the temperatures at Kitty Su. Gaining immense popularity after appearing on RuPaul’s Drag Race, Peppermint was the first openly trans woman to enter the show, and ultimately ended as the runner-up. Keshav Suri adds, “Peppermint is a gutsy personality. It takes immense courage to accept your true self in front of the world. Peppermint’s performance at the club is aimed at driving the trans empowerment agenda.”

When: March 29

Where: Kitty Su, The Lalit Hotel, Barakhamba Road

Canvassing nature
