ABOUT MOCKIE AH

Recently named one of Ireland's top tourist attractions by BBC One's The Travel Show, Mockie Ah is Ireland's leading Drag Haus and queer performance collective. Expect big numbers, big looks and even bigger hair!

 

The legendary drag family was founded in 2017 as a response to the lack of queer spaces in Cork by leading Irish drag artist Candy Warhol (Comedy Central's Dragony Aunts). With an ever-expanding diverse lineup, the Cork City-based group has gone from strength to strength with regular nationwide cabarets, drag brunches, club-nights and festival appearances including Electric Picnic, Body and Soul and KnockanStockan.

 

In 2019 the queens were featured on a Virgin Media pride special and in 2021 a critically acclaimed documentary focusing on five members of the group, Kin Of Kweens, was broadcast on RTÉ. In 2022 Mockie Ah! was featured on BBC One's The Travel Show. In 2023 the queens embarked on their first nationwide tours with Rupaul's Drag Race stars Le Fil and Just May. That same year they announced a monthly residency at Cork's Pavilion and the launch of their drag brunches with Absolut Vodka and The Dean.

 

With their shows expanding, the collective has seen special guests include Bambie Thug, Charity Kase, I'm Grand Mam, The Cheeky Girls, N-Trance, Booty Luv, Crystal and Bestiah.

​

2024 will see Mockie Ah! announce several shows at Cork's Everyman Theatre as well as the return of their annual sell-out Rocky Horror Picture Show and an expansion of their shows nationwide.
