One of Ireland’s top drag collectives, Mockie Ah, has revealed a dazzling lineup for their highly anticipated Cork Pride show, and it promises to be one of the best LGBTQ+ events of the year.
Having been included as one of Ireland’s top tourist attractions by BBC One’s The Travel Show, the Cork-based drag haus is pulling out all the stops this Pride season. Known for their riotous live shows, fierce fashion and activism, Mockie Ah will welcome BAFTA Award-winning actor and presenter Siobhán McSweeney as special guest co-host for the evening.
Best known for her iconic roles in Derry Girls and Extraordinary, as well as fronting hit shows The Traitors Ireland and The Great Pottery Throw Down, McSweeney will host the show alongside Mockie Ah’s own Candy Warhol.
“It’s an honour to welcome Siobhán to Mockie Ah this Pride. They are an absolute Irish icon and we are so proud that she has been flying the flag for Cork. Not only is she an incredible actress but she is an important ally to the LGBTQIA community and has always used her platform and voice to speak up for us and many other important issues,” Candy said.
