Candy Warhol in association with Cork Midsummer Festival presents

The Wind That Shakes The Wig

One of Ireland’s most exciting drag acts, Candy Warhol, rediscovers her grá for her homeland in this glittering show for the soul!

Join Candy on a queer crusade to champion the national icons of the Emerald Isle and rediscover her camp connection to the country she once felt ostracised by. Aided by her spirit guide Saint Marian Mary The 6th, this dynamic duo revisit Ireland’s pop culture pioneers and limelight lion hearts as they journey down the yellow brick road – experience the Craic agus Ceol as our royal banríon realises There’s No Place Like Abhaile!

Candy Warhol is one of Ireland’s most renowned drag acts. A descendant of the legendary Danny La Rue, Candy is the mother of Mockie Ah, Ireland’s leading drag Haus, the subject of RT’s Kin Of Queens documentary and featured on BBC One’s The Travel Show. Candy is the co-presenter of Comedy Central’s Dragony Aunts and the host of acclaimed podcast Friends Of Dorothy. She recently launched Gayli, an Irish cabaret in London, with her drag sister Marian Mary The 6th and made her Dublin Fringe Festival debut in 2022.
