In a recent appearance on Conan O’Brien‘s talk show, actor Alan Cumming shared some intriguing details about his adventures in Berlin’s adult club scene. It seems that the iconic club featured in the musical Cabaret, the Kit Kat Club, actually has a real-life counterpart in Berlin. Cumming admitted to visiting the contemporary Kit Kat Club a couple of years ago and being fascinated by the city’s decadent nightlife.
The actor praised Berlin’s open attitude towards sex, stating that there is no shame in expressing one’s desires. He described the club as a place where people can freely indulge in their sexual desires. From the dance floor to slings hanging from the roof, the Kit Kat Club offers a unique experience for adventurous club-goers.
Cumming humorously compared the club to Chuck E. Cheese for adults, emphasizing that it’s not a place where you can simply enjoy some food and then hop on a swing. Instead, the club features various “instruments” that enable visitors to engage in more adult activities. Despite the differences between the real Kit Kat Club and the one portrayed in Cabaret, Cumming found joy in the uninhibited atmosphere of Berlin.
During his most recent visit to Berlin, Cumming received an invitation to another club from a friend. However, he quickly learned that there was an unusual curfew in place. Although the club stayed open until 6:00 in the morning, visitors had to be inside by midnight. The reason became apparent when Cumming discovered that all attendees had to put their clothes in plastic bags before entering. This experience proved to be a little too unconventional for the actor’s taste, and he opted to skip the adventure.
Away from the debauchery of the Berlin club scene, Cumming enjoys embracing his inner domesticity. The actor shared a picture on social media showing himself in his dressing room, busy making soup for the cast. Cumming confessed that he takes on the role of an old grandmother or a dirty old man by whipping up a batch of soup every Wednesday. However, he did admit that in the posted picture, it was actually his intern Chris who did the chopping.
While chatting with O’Brien, Cumming playfully teased his intern about chopping the vegetables too small. The actor’s ability to see the humor in the situation adds to his charm and reveals more about his down-to-earth nature.
Overall, Alan Cumming‘s recounting of his Berlin adult club adventures added a spicy and entertaining element to his appearance on Conan O’Brien‘s talk show. The actor’s candid and lively storytelling gave viewers a glimpse into the mesmerizing and unconventional nightlife of Berlin, showcasing his appreciation for the city’s acceptance of diverse lifestyles.
