Following the acclaimed Philadelphia Fringe run, the original songs of "The Dirty Shirley Show!" return in a variety show fundraiser format!
About this Event

"The Dirty Shirley Show!" was originally presented with co-production support with Cannonball Festival in Fall of 2025, playing to sold-out houses and recieving industry praise for the confessional Gen-Z sapphic sermon energy. Fringie Winner Rose Luardo said of Shirley's Fringe debut: "Your musical reaches into the cosmic refrigerator, pulls out raw misery, butters it on both sides, eats it, and shits out pure joy."

❤︎₊ ⊹

The musical selections ripped from Shirley's debaucherous diary will return for this one-night-only fundraiser: peppered with stand-up comedy, clownish interludes from her ladies in waiting/tip kittens, AND special guest performances from fellow trans drag artists/musicians who make their own original work! Full guest roster TBD but will include Mother Yari of Henn House, Smexy Marz/Blu Pangine, and Fern Morehouse!

❤︎₊ ⊹

A night of queer joy, femme resistance, and raising money for Shirley's independent producing collective (Girlpope Theatre Company) to come back to Philly Fringe this year stronger than ever! Girlpope needs Shirley's sermon to reach the masses this time, so come with those wallets full of tip money for our upcoming endeavors!

❤︎₊ ⊹

A variety-show fundraisathon of epic proportions: there will be a costume theme, contest, and runway opportunity with a prize for the most "Alien Freak" cotoure of the night, crowned by Big Shirl themselves. Show up ready to celebrate queer and trans liberation, diversity, and marginalized joy on Wednesday July 8th at Franky Bradley's B West. The genderfuck princess of Venus awaits you, hosting a musical slumber-party-on-acid...
