🎙️ Gays Up North – Episode Title: “Bank Holidays & Breakups”

It’s a bank holiday bonanza and the northern gays are thriving (or at least pretending to)! Jay Jay spills the glittery tea from Syd the Sloth’s dramatic divorce party (yes, you read that right 🦥💔), while Jason kept it classy at the scruffy local with lukewarm lager and questionable karaoke.

We’ve got more Gay Games in store – #HASHTAG HUN! returns with some iconic nonsense – plus, an extra dramatic round of Agony All The Way, fresh off the glitter-soaked streets of Manchester Pride. Expect dodgy advice, chaotic confessions, and maybe a little bit of wisdom (but no promises).

Pop a prosecco, plug in your earholes, and let’s get into it. 💅✨

Episode 37 – “One Day We Will Get Through Without a Technical Glitch... But Not Today!”

You know the drill – Gays Up North is back with Episode 37, and yes, the tech gods are still not on our side. But never mind that, because Jay Jay and Jason are having a right chilled time lately (when they're not working their northern socks off, that is).

This week, it's business as usual:
🎯 A hilarious round of #HashtagHun – who’s winning? Who’s confused? Who’s made it up on the spot?
💌 And a Creamfields special in Agony Aunt – because nothing says emotional support like glitter, mud, and dance tents.

Plug in, pour a brew (or something stronger), and join your fave northern gays for the chaos and charm you’ve come to love.

Episode 36 – Games Galore, Drama, and Dolce Vita!

This week on Gays Up North, it’s all fun, games, and a little dash of drama! 🎲💅

Jason and Jay Jay are back after a weekend apart — but who was living the dolce vita at a wine tasting for one, and who was turning it out at Doncaster Pride? The tea is piping! ☕️🍷🌈

We’re also diving into some classic Agony Aunt chaos (because when don’t we?), plus sharing our latest obsessions with all things games — from the nostalgic to the downright ridiculous.

So grab a glass (or the whole bottle), press play, and let’s get into it. 💖

🎉 Episode 35!: Happy Birthday Kimmy K, Celine’s Not Dead (We Think), and Deep Water Drama 🌊🐂

It’s a chaotic celebration up north this week as we dive into Episode 35!

We’re popping the prosecco for Kimmy K's birthday, but things take a sharp left when rumours swirl about Celine Dion’s death — spoiler alert: it’s a hoax (we hope?). Meanwhile, Jay Jay’s been in deep water, and not just metaphorically. And Jason’s taking the bull by the horns… sort of. Expect laughs, side-eyes, and a healthy dose of gay northern chaos.

Hit play and come for the gossip, stay for the madness. 💅

🎧 Episode 34 – Back to Reality After Bawtry Pride! 🌈

We’re backkk! After the glitter, giggles, and gin of Bawtry Pride, it’s time to return to reality (begrudgingly). Jay Jay’s easing into a fab new job, and he’s still keeping Jason on his toes with multiple business ideas in the pipeline – because why have one venture when you can have five?

This week we’ve got the beloved Jay Jay’s Quiz back in full swing, and for once… drumroll please… absolutely NOTHING is going into Room 101! Miracles do happen! 🙌

Grab a brew, pop your headphones in, and catch up with your two favourite Northerners.

🎙️ Episode Title: Bawtry Pride, Brollies & Belly Laughs

In this glitter-soaked episode, Jayjay & Jason relive the absolute magic of founding Bawtry Pride 2025 — and what a day it was! 🌈 Despite the rain, you lot turned up, danced your hearts out, and made it unforgettable. We’re sending out the biggest, soggiest THANK YOU to every single person who showed up and showed out. 💃☔

We also got the joy of being interviewed by the fabulous Heather Heather, entertainment reporter for Doncaster and Rotherm Radio, and you’ll hear her grilling our mummies (yes, really) about everything from rainbow flags to raising two icons.

And of course, it wouldn’t be a proper episode without our Agony Aunt segment, where we continue the noble tradition of taking the mick out of other people’s misfortunes — lovingly, of course.

Grab a brew (or a bottle), pop in those headphones, and let’s relive Pride with a side of sarcasm.
