The acts so far announced for this year’s Galway Comedy Festival include the Queen of Ireland, Panti Bliss, who is bringing her smash hit show If These Wigs Could Talk to the Black Box Theatre on Saturday October 28, after a record-breaking-run in Dublin, Belfast and London.
Meet notorious drag queen Panti at 54, after a lifetime of accidental activism, far-fetched shenanigans and making a full time show of herself, now taking a moment to question what her purpose and place in this changing world is.
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.
