The Queen of Ireland Panti invites you into her gender-discombobulating, stiletto shaped world, exposing the stories behind the make-up – from performance giant to accidental activist – to reveal the national treasure she is today.

In 2014, Panti landed herself in a legal shitstorm, dubbed Pantigate. Her speech about homophobia went viral, was broadcast worldwide, remixed by Pet Shop Boys, caused a parliamentary meltdown and fed into Ireland’s marriage equality referendum success.

Hilarious and poignant, Panti traces her journey from small-town boy kicking against traditions to towering plastique woman in false lashes making history.
