Since 1996 Panti has been the hostess of the annual Alternative Miss Ireland pageant. Considered by many as the grande dame of the Dublin gay scene and the most influential of all Irish drag queens, Panti spent several years in Tokyo, (performing as part of double act called CANDIPANTI), she returned to Ireland in 1996. Panti co-created (together with Niall Sweeney, Tonie Walsh and Trish Brennan) and hosted several transgressive and popular performance based club nights - GAG, POWDERBUBBLE and H.A.M., in turn spawning sister clubs such as GRISTLE.
