Intrepid Theatre

The OUTstages fan favourite returns with a brand new show!

Award-winning drag tragicomedienne Pearle Harbour presents her cabaret spectacular Agit-Pop! – musical meditations for the pre-post-apocalypse. Song, storytelling, and socio-political tirades galore, as Pearle dishes piping hot takes and spills scalding tea on some of the most troubling issues facing the new century. Developed over five years of live performance, Agit Pop! is an ever-changing collection of Pearle’s favourite, best, and most heart-wrenchingly hilarious short acts. With accompaniment by musical director Steven Conway, Pearle serenades audiences with new arrangements of old classics and little known gems by David Bowie, Judy Garland, Tom Waits, and more.
