June 6, 2024 - June 9, 2024 | Buddies in Bad Times Theatre

Home > CIF Events > Panti Bliss – If These Wigs Could Talk

Event Overview

Meet notorious drag queen Panti at 54. After a lifetime of accidental activism, far-fetched shenanigans, and making a full-time show of herself, she is 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, where along the way the answer to her existential question presents itself where she least expects it.   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 performance.
