Dylan Mulvaney courts controversy AGAIN with ‘triggering’ one-woman show about her conservative Catholic upbringing

Trans TikToker Dylan Mulvaney appears to be bouncing back from last year’s Bud Light debacle with the announcement of her one-woman show at the Edinburgh Fringe this summer.

As recently as February, Mulvaney was making late-night social media posts, insisting that her ’15 minutes’ of fame was not over, following the backlash over her tie-up with the beer-maker.

The 27-year-old released a single in March and this week announced the debut of a solo musical, FAGHAG — an hour of songs and anecdotes about her man-to-girl transition.

It reportedly covers Mulvaney’s love life, and her relationship with God while growing up queer in the Catholic Church in the San Diego area of southern California.

Audiences are warned that Dylan Mulvaney’s one-woman show FAGHAG is ‘triggering’ 

The musical will debut at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe from July 31 to August 25

Mulvaney says she is ‘over the moon’ about launching the show at Scotland’s top arts festival.

She calls it a ‘campy, queer love letter to my younger self, and my way of taking my story off of social media and onto the stage,’ she said.

The title is a slang term to describe a woman who spends her time with gay men.

Audiences are warned that the show features strong language and ‘distressing or potentially triggering themes.’

It will play Assembly George Square Studios from July 31 to August 25.

It features songs by Tim Robinson and direction by Tim Jackson, two experienced Broadway hands.

Thanks to her viral TikTok series, Days of Girlhood, which has 9.9 million followers, Mulvaney is one of the most famous transgender people in America.

She is no stranger to controversy, with critics saying she caricatures women as neurotic, promiscuous, shopaholics.

Last year, Mulvaney’s tie-up with Bud Light led to an angry boycott of the beer by conservatives that cost parent company Anheuser-Busch $400 million in sales.

The new show may unsettle some Catholics — the church does not approve of homosexuality and rejects the basic concept of changing one’s biological sex.

Catholics protested outside her most recent gig — a speaking slot at Saint Louis University, one of America’s oldest Jesuit institutions.

For Mulvaney, the show marks a return to theater, after appearing in the hit musical The Book of Mormon.

In April of last year, Mulvaney posted on Instagram a photo of a custom can of Bud Light sent to her by the beer to celebrate '365 Days of Girlhood' during her transition to a woman

Theaters closed during the pandemic, leaving Mulvaney jobless.

She achieved internet stardom in 2022 by launching her hit TikTok series, Days of Girlhood, in which she documents her transition from a young man to a ‘girl.’

She’s made millions of dollars by endorsing cosmetics, fashion and other products, appeared with President Joe Biden at the White House, and appeared alongside Hollywood celebrities.

It came unstuck last April, when she posted a video to promote a Bud Light giveaway, saying the company had sent her a tallboy can with her face on it to celebrate her sex change.

This irked conservatives, who said a favorite beer had ‘gone woke.’

They railed on social media and boycotted the drink, costing parent company Anheuser-Busch $400 million in sales — a 13.5 percent slump.

The fallout led to a devastating stretch for Bud Light, where it suffered repeat double-digit revenue drops on a near-weekly basis.

Mulvaney went on to earn $2 million from promotional work last year, landing deals with Nike and Mac, and she appeared at the Golden Globes in January.

She was in December named on Forbes’ 30 under 30 list.

The magazine praised her for withstanding the Bud Light fall-out and Mulvaney slammed the beer company for throwing her to the wolves.

In December, she addressed a half-empty auditorium at Penn State, where she unveiled plans for the one-woman show.

In March, she released a pop single called Days of Girlhood, which has been watched more than 1.2 million times on YouTube.
