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.
