If These Wigs Could Talk meets notorious drag queen Panti at 56, after a lifetime of accidental activism, far-fetched shenanigans and making a full time show of herself, now taking a moment to question her purpose and place in this changing world.
Expect salacious stories, impassioned polemics, and some seriously funny soul searching as Panti takes us from rural Mayo to London’s glittering West End to the Irish Ambassador’s residence in Vienna, where the answer to her existential question presents itself where she least expects it.
Following record-breaking runs at the Abbey Theatre in Dublin and Soho Theatre in London, Panti invites you to learn from her ridiculous mistakes, laugh at her glittering failures, and share in her triumphs, in this big, beautiful and brilliant night out.
“It’s SO GOOD! … No one is making shows like this... I loved it!” - Graham Norton
