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’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. Directed by Grace Duggan (National Theatre, Almeida, Donmar Warehouse) and performed with drag artist Michelle Pittoni (Clean Break, Soho Theatre) you can 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. Designed by Emily Harwood (the Barbican, Punchdrunk) 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 Father JC’s Holy Show!
