Lost Spaces: Memories from Gay Bars, Lesbian Clubs, and LGBTQ+ Parties

Greatest Hits: "The Very Beginnings Of My Actual Gay Life..." - with comedian Jacob Trueman


Listen Later

We're revisiting some of my favourite/most memorable/most impactful episodes throughout June!


Sometimes I'm really taken aback by what an absolute privilege it is to do this job, and how people can be so open and honest with me. And I think it's a real honour that I get to help amplify the stories, and get the opportunity to really examine my own queerness and how that's shaped who I am.

Maybe that's all a little bit too sentimental?

Let's get on with what this show is about this week. I am joined by the British comedian, Jacob Truman, who sat down with me to talk about a small-town gay bar that was in the city where he went to University.

The kicker? He never had the bravery to step foot in the place.

So you've probably already guessed that this one's going to be heavy, but but I promise it's a good one.

We talk all about making all of your decisions from a position of fear, being too scared to come out to your identical twin brother, and what it's like to glimpse through that sliver of a window at a life that you aren't brave enough to start for yourself.

Do you have any memories of Christopher’s, or clubbing from your own scene that you want to share? Well, if you have please get in touch - I want to create the biggest online record of people's memories and stories - go to www.lostspacespodcast.com and find the section 'Share a Lost Space' and tell me what you got up to! Bonus points for embarrassing photos!
