Club One is a night club located on Jefferson Street[1] in Savannah, Georgia, famous for its drag shows featuring The Lady Chablis.[2] It rose to prominence in part due to Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil in which Chablis was featured.[3]

History

The building was originally built in 1893, by the estate of George Wymberly Jones DeRenne, a descendant of Noble Jones,[4] as a warehouse.

Events

Club One hosts a variety of events including drag shows, pageants, standup comedy, live theater, and karaoke and it played a role in the growth of the city's goth scene.[5][6] The Lady Chablis was a regular performer at Club One up until her death in September 2016.[7]
