What happens when a middle aged man decides to spend the rest of his life as a woman? He accidentally becomes a drag queen and lives to tell the tale. In 1999 a fat, middle aged man had a near death experience. In a sedate car at a fateful red light, a slowly dying man awoke from a long slumber. After years of grey sky, the sun suddenly started to shine. The world became brighter and brighter. He realised: _x001C_ All of that misery was real but it is now in the past. From here forward I will devote the rest of my life to living in the gender I have been denying for so long_x001D_ . Then his transformation began. It was painful, funny, startling, joyous, terrifying and calming. Finally he was carried far beyond the person he had constructed in one life, to a person with a life of her own. With self-deprecating and insightful humour, Amanda Monroe describes the life changing events that led to her decision to change her gender, and the challenges and obstacles she passed on her journey; the mystery, comedy and irony of a wondrous journey from male to female. See this show and gain some understanding of the most earth shattering mid-life crisis it is possible to have. You'll learn about gender, irony and what drag queens really think on their day off
