🎙️ What’s This Episode About?

Shuv Barbital, the self-proclaimed Goth Mom of Liverpool, is a drag artist, host, costumer and chaos curator, known for bringing dark glamour, camp filth and fierce intelligence to every stage she haunts.

Shuv joins John for a gloriously unfiltered chat about alternative drag, the politics of performance, and why drag should never be confined to sequins and safe choices. They dive into feminism, visibility, creative autonomy, and take a few ADHD-fuelled tangents along the way.

Whether she’s lip-syncing in latex or building a space for queer outsiders, Shuv is as sharp as she is spooky... and not afraid to say exactly what she means.

It’s layered, loud, and perfectly off-track in all the right ways.
