Father JC - the Irish Drag Priest with mass appeal is taking a divine pilgrimage across the nation, bringing his big mass to the masses
Father JC - the Irish Drag Priest with mass appeal is taking a divine pilgrimage across the nation, bringing his big mass to the masses.
‘JC’s Holy Show’ is life-changing, iconic, epic, glamorous and just fabulous! But there’s one small catch…he hasn’t written it yet. With the help of an amateur DJ, he will amp up the sacrament with the big hymns, the bops, the beats and anthems! What could possibly go wrong?
Written and performed by multi-award-nominated artist Laura Wyatt O’Keeffe, this drag comedy extravaganza blends rituals and raves, faith and fun, in a divine hour of chaos and celebration on the dancefloor. Expect big laughs, bigger performances, and the kind of soul-searching you won’t find in any pew.
JC has graced the stages at Soho Theatre, Roundhouse, and Clapham Grand, and blessed the crowds at All Together Now, Wilderness, Latitude, Mighty Hoopla, and Margate Pride. Now, it’s time for you to experience the holy hilarity for yourself!
Get ready for an unforgettable night of music, mayhem, and a little bit of holiness—because this is JC’s Holy Show!
Reviews: R&D Sharing Audience Feedback:
We can’t expect audiences to know anything about queerness or gender. It’s a really accessible way of talking about it.
Joyous. A whole journey of emotions. Touching. Impressive.
I could go to mass if it was a mini mass like that.
