Clock the hair, clock the mug, clock the nails, clock my skirt. Clock the bag, clock the shoes, now punch the clock, it's time to werk! Shangela is SHOOK! and she's on her way down under to tell ya'll about it. That's right baby, she's the spitfire from the Haus of Edwards and she's bringing her fabulous, brand new, one woman show to a theatre near you.
Best recognized as the only contestant to compete on three separate seasons of the Emmy-award winning reality series Rupaul's Drag Race (seasons 2, 3 and currently in All Stars 3), Shangela has had cameos on Glee, 2 Broke Girls, Bones and The X-Files. You can call her Laquifa, just don't try and tell her she has a sugar daddy. She is a PROFESSIONAL and she's coming to spill the T!
She'll be bringing her gorgeous dancers all the way from the US to Halleloo for you in a 75-minute theatre spectacular. Karen from Finance will be coming along for the ride to get the party started. You better get in to it, you don't want to miss this Uptown Fish!
