More about Pichi Keane:

Pichi Keane is a singing queen, glamour clown and self-proclaimed pleasure activist on a mission to make more people laugh and lube up. Pichi Keane first started performing in drag in 2019 while living in Hong Kong, where she quickly became a familiar face at premier queer events as performer and MC, despite the dampener of the pandemic on the social scene. She collaborated with her drag sister Trash Queen Doris to co-produce ‘Get Trash’d’ - a variety drinking game show - as well as working with one of Hong Kong’s funniest femmes, Francesca Ayala, to present Big Bad Bingo Bonanza, Sex Ed: An Uncensored Trivia and more. A trained vocalist with experience in musical theatre, jazz, pop and rock, she established her band 'Pichi Keane & the Swing Machine' - a project featuring some of Hong Kong’s most sought-after musicians. Pichi has enjoyed numerous sold-out shows with her debut drag cabaret ‘Ripe ’n Ready’, performed on the main stage at the Cape Town Pride Festival Mardi Gras, and released her debut single titled ‘Came Here To Dance’. In 2024, Pichi was awarded the Cape Town Pride Heroes Performer of the Year Award, and debuted Freshly Squeezed internationally with shows in Hong Kong and Manila.
