Imagine spending an evening in Bali that combines lively entertainment with a meaningful social mission. That’s exactly what you get with the Drag Show in Canggu at Inklusiv Warung. This isn’t your typical Bali night out — it’s a vibrant, inclusive event that celebrates diversity, creativity, and community. Whether you’re a fan of drag, curious about sign language, or just looking for a fun, affordable night in Bali, this experience offers a lot for a modest price.
What we love about this tour is how it marries top-notch entertainment with social impact. The performers are genuinely talented and lively, and the venue itself embodies Bali’s growing culture of acceptance and inclusion. Plus, the chance to learn Indonesian sign language from Deaf staff adds an unexpected educational twist that makes the night memorable.
A potential consideration is that transportation isn’t included, so you’ll need to arrange your own way there. Also, if you’re not interested in dining, you can still enjoy the show — but keep in mind that food and drinks over the included allowance will cost extra. This experience is best suited for open-minded travelers who appreciate a mix of entertainment, social consciousness, and good food.

While the main event is the drag show, the venue also serves Western and Indonesian comfort food. The menu is designed to cater to various tastes, including vegetarian and vegan options, which many reviews commend.
If you opt for the FDC ticket, you get a free selected beverage per person, and with the Exclusive Ticket, you get IDR 200,000 to spend on food and drinks. This adds great value, especially considering the prices in Bali. The reviews highlight that the food is good, and the drinks are enjoyable, making it a well-rounded night out.
However, extra food and drinks beyond the included amount will incur additional charges, so plan accordingly if you’re hungry or thirsty.
Pricing and Value
At just $14 per person, this experience offers impressive value. You’re paying for two hours of entertainment, a chance to support a social cause, and the opportunity to learn something new. The prices are affordable, especially given the high praise for the quality of the performances and the inclusive atmosphere.
It’s worth noting that transportation isn’t included, so you’ll need to arrange your own ride — be it scooter, taxi, or ride-share. But considering the modest price, many find it a small inconvenience in exchange for an authentic, heartfelt experience.
Reviews and Customer Feedback
The glowing reviews speak volumes. Many mention how the performers are lively and clearly enjoy their work, creating a relaxed, joyful environment.

Others appreciated the friendly staff and authentic cultural exchange, with one noting, “It was nice to learn the Indonesian sign language and see the drag performances.” The venue’s commitment to inclusivity gets high praise, making it a feel-good night that combines entertainment with meaningful social impact.
