Mami Watta turns the "Hail Mary" into a liberating act of self-affirmation: from her Catholic childhood in Abidjan and her arrival in Paris to the stages of Drag Race, she transforms every hardship into stage ammunition and bursts of laughter. Joyful blasphemy and no-holds-barred humor: the queen takes center stage without ever apologizing in a dazzling stand-up show.
In this irreverent show—where she takes apart religion, “wokeness,” and family pressure with fast-paced, direct, unfiltered delivery—Mami Watta recounts her extraordinary journey. It is an opportunity for her to challenge what some call “deviance” or “excess”—too queer, too Black, too visible—using shade, the biting, gleefully savage humor of ballroom culture that disarms as much as it liberates. By turning the personal into a political act, she proudly and loudly claims her place on this stage and in the world. The stage then becomes a place of healing, but above all a place to come together, for an entire generation that has so often been told there was “not enough room.” Around the show Post-show discussion (THU.
