Panti warmly invites you to learn from her mistakes,
laugh at her failures,
and revel in her triumphs.
Over seven years since Pantigate, Ireland’s Marriage Equality Referendum, and the international smash hit High Heels In Low Places, Panti is shaking out her oversized wigs and re-boning her corset to bring her unique brand of ridiculous anecdotes to the Peacock stage this November.
If These Wigs Could Talk meets Panti, a drag queen at 53, after a lifetime of showbiz, shenanigans, and making a show of herself, taking this moment to question what her purpose and place in the world is now.
Via salacious stories, impassioned polemics, some seriously funny soul searching, and a few unvarnished truths, Panti takes us from rural Mayo to London’s glittering West End to the ambassador’s residence in Vienna, where along the way the answer to the question presents itself when she least expects it.
