Baga Chipz: Bagz to Riches

Wednesday 2 September 2026

Comedy Theatre

!Lock up ya grandads! Baga Chipz MBE presents...Bag’z To Riches.

Join the international drag superstar and RuPaul’s Drag Race icon for the night as she embarks on her autumn nationwide tour. Star of stage and screen, Baga is coming close to twenty years in showbusiness, and wants to celebrate with those who made it possible…..you! The public.

This is a show not to be missed, and a love letter to all of those who have supported her throughout her amazing career. Get ready for a jam-packed night of outrageous stand-up comedy, untold stories, anecdotes, memories and of course….the music; the music that has shaped Baga into the performer she is today, from disco to power ballads, big band show tunes to the musicals. Expect the same old Baga being as crass and blue as ever, live and unfiltered!
This is a story of transformation from council estate princess to the nation’s most loveable tart. A true Bagz to riches story.

After the success of last year’s tour Chip Off the Old Block it was only natural to bring back by popular demand Baga’s partner in crime, comedian and vocal powerhouse Tanya Hyde. Expect duets from ABBA to Bananarama, Wicked to Chicago and the history of a twenty year friendship. A camp old time of sequins, big hair, show business and cabaret!

Including tributes to friends past and present, we suggest ya bring a hanky!

If you’ve seen Baga before you will know this isn’t a show for the fainthearted or easily offended; No one is safe! So, let’s have a good old knees up, belly laugh til a little bit of wee comes out and get you dancing! This is a show you will remember for life. This is the story of Bagz to riches!
