Panti Bliss coming to Vicar Street next May with glamorous show

Panti Bliss is coming to Vicar Street next May with a glamorous new show.

The comedy show 'If These Wigs Could Talk' is coming to Vicar Street on May 14 for one night only. Panti, aka Rory O'Neill, will be discussing her career, from her humble beginnings in Mayo to being the first drag queen to take part in RTE's Dancing With The Stars.

Panti is known as the Queen of Ireland and has been in the spotlight as a drag queen, gay rights activist and an entertainer for a number of years. She is also the most recent celebrity to leave DWTS at last week's quarter final stage.

The evening promises to be a little bit of everything with Panti sharing some salacious stories, impassioned polemics and some soul searching as she takes the audience on a journey from rural Mayo to London's West End and everything in between.

There is also a serious element to the show as Panti shares how ending up at the Irish ambassador's residence in Vienna gave her the answer to her extensional life question about her purpose in this ever changing world. The show comes following a record breaking sold out run of shows at The Abbey Theatre last November.

Tickets for the exclusive one night show go on sale this Friday March 10 at 11am from the 'this is pop baby' website and cost €40.
