Atlanta’s icon of glamour and drag star Brigitte Bidet, famous for her cheeky humor and dazzling presence, will perform her first-ever one-woman show at City Winery on Feb. 9. “Chick with a Schtick” will show off Brigitte’s best bits, stand-up and songs with special guest appearances.
She recently joined “City Lights” host Lois Reitzes to discuss her roots and upcoming City Winery performance.
A classically trained dancer with roots in Core Dance Company, Brigitte has spent years honing her craft in Atlanta’s vibrant drag scene. “I always wanted to be opulent, glamorous, and over-the-top. Not just a pretty lady, but a disco ball – a parade float,” she said.
Her signature platinum blonde persona evolved through trial and error, from DIY beginnings at Mary’s in East Atlanta Village to becoming a staple in Atlanta nightlife and beyond.
While “Chick with a Shtick” is her first solo show, Brigitte is embracing collaboration, working with stand-up comedians, choreographers and legendary local queens. “This is my contribution… to Atlanta’s drag legacy.”
