Nigel's guest today is Nathaniel J Hall - theatre-maker, film-maker, writer, performer, director, producer and HIV activist. Nathaniel’s life took a hideous and unexpected turn when he contracted HIV from his first sexual partner, aged 16. He faced a world of stigma and battled with societal shame. His diagnosis and how he dealt with it is a journey that has taken him through crushing lows and experiences of dependency and therapy. But it has also allowed him to create gripping, thought-provoking pieces of theatre like Toxic and First Time and secured him a role in the iconic TV drama It’s A Sin. Nathaniel works tirelessly and beautifully to combat HIV stigma.

This series is a celebration of a beautiful queer community; people of all ages, people who have had to tread their own path to live their real truth, who have fought with their emotions and emerged victorious, who inspire, who aspire and always entertain. Hosted by Nigel May. Every episode Nigel speaks to a person from the LGBTQIA+ rainbow to hear their story; one person, one life, one conversation. And it always guarantees A Gay Old Time!
