Don’t Tell Dad about Diana @ Underbelly Boulevard Soho

Following a sell-out run at Edinburgh Fringe, Dont Tell Dad About Diana comes to Underbelly Boulevard Soho for two nights only! Dublin, 1997. Two friends prepare to compete for the crown of Alternative Miss Ireland with their Princess Diana drag act, hidden from their hardline nationalist families. As they race through the city towards competition night, Dianas death sparks the unravelling of their secret, their friendship and their plans to leave Ireland. A high-energy two-hander packed with comedy, courage and coming-of-age chaos. Named one of Rolling Stones 10 Standout Fringe Shows, as well as Theatre Weeklys Best LGBTQ+ Show of Ed Fringe, this limited run is not to be missed!
