Whilst attending a Pride event back in 2016, London-based cabaret performer and singer Sadie Sinner was surprised to see no Black lesbian artists on the line-up. She saw that other performers of colour also had notably less prominence on the bill as well.
That moment led to the creation of the Cocoa Butter Club. Formed as a retaliation of sorts to the lack of diversity on the main stage, it's since become a crucially important and sacred space for queer artists of colour.
On any given performance, the club will feature everything from comedy and live music to erotic poetry and dance. It’s a varied hotpot of culture that shines a spotlight on talented performers who, more often than not, do not always get the credit they deserve.
