Homo Sapiens

Hello everyone, please welcome our first All Star cost-host, Mr. Tom Allen! 

Tom is a wonderful friend and so when you all asked us to do an episode about why it’s hard to make friends in the gay community I knew who to call: My only mate who has a top hat on his house insurance. Who knew?

Lovely episode this, and a real sign of whats to come. 

Oh, and remember we're now on YouTube! You'll be able to WATCH my conversation with Tom tomorrow, so make sure you're subscribed to @homosapienspod on YouTube now!

This week, we are joined by the hilariously funny actor and comedian, Hannah Gadsby.

Hannah's new Netflix special Gender Agenda was released earlier this month. Gender Agenda showcases some of the best gender queer comedy from around the world and features topics such as top surgery, misgendering and the effects of testosterone. Hannah sat down to tell us all about how they curated the line up and why stage time isn't always safe time for gender queer comedians. Plus, they tell us why they caused a stir on Instagram.

Will we be seeing the return of Layton Williams to the stage soon? This week, we are absolutely thrilled to be joined by the wonderful star of hit West End shows like Everbody's Talking About Jamie. Layton joined us for a lovely chat about his stellar career and why people shouldn't just see him in one light: as a stage star.
