Freshly Squeezed – A Juicy Drag Cabaret Show – starring Pichi Keane
14th June 2024
‘Freshly Squeezed’ is Pichi Keane’s brand-spanking-new drag cabaret for the thirsty. Following the rip-roaring success of her award-winning show ‘Ripe ‘n Ready’, drag performer Pichi is back to serve cheeky comedy, brassy belting and BDE (big diva energy). Pichi Keane takes to the stage fully embracing a brave new world in this fiercely femme phenomenon, while reflecting on what’s behind them. In the words of Doja Cat: “if you can see it from the front, wait til you see it from the back.”
Experience the enchanting voice and wicked humour of Pichi Keane in Knysna this winter as she injects an effervescent dose of comedy, music and queer joy into 34 Waenhout en-route to the 50th annual National Arts Festival in Makhanda. Pichi Keane made waves in 2023 at the National Arts Festival with their first solo drag cabaret ‘Ripe ‘n Ready’, taking home a sexy Standard Bank Silver Ovation Award and selling out shows along the Garden Route, as well as in Johannesburg, and the Western Cape.
Due to strong language and sexual themes, this production is not suitable for u18s. Doors open 18:00, show starts at 20:00. Tickets on Quicket : R150 Online | R200 Door
– Come early to Order food and drinks leisurely, service is very limited just before the show starts
