On Saturday, 21st November, Homotopia (Liverpool’s annual LGBT festival) invites audiences to join Ireland’s high queen, national treasure, performance giant and accidental activist, Panti Bliss in her smash hit comedy show, High Heels in Low Places at the Epstein Theatre.
Panti landed herself in the middle of a media storm christened ‘Pantigate’ that rocked Ireland in 2014. Soon after, she became a Youtube sensation when a speech she made about homophobia, described as “the most eloquent Irish speech” in 200 years by Irish Times columnist Fintan O’Toole, went viral, was broadcast around the world, debated in parliament and even remixed by the Pet Shop Boys – sparking a powerful conversation about equality.
Presented by Thisispopbaby, High Heels in Low Places is her riotous stand-up show about life after ‘Pantigate’, which played to rave reviews and chock-a-block houses across Ireland.
Charting brushes with infamy, near misses with fame and adventures in the seedy underbelly, Panti invites audiences in to her hyper-real, stiletto-shaped world, in a storytelling tour de force where she promises to say the un-sayable.
The show is written and performed by Panti, directed by Phillip McMahon and produced by Jennifer Jennings.
Tickets for this performance are priced at £14 with concessions available at £12.
