Bordello Theatre are a Queer artist's collective creating theatre which wraps us up in Queer space. In Episode 5 of Audio Queer, in collaboration with Curious Arts, I had the pleasure of talking to members G and Andy. 

We discuss G's experience returning to Lake District as an adult. We talk about Andy's brilliant way of framing Bordello's show 'The Pilgrims' to fit into the chaos that is Edinburgh Fringe. And we also talk about hope, about allowing people into Queer space whilst also fighting to hold it.

Meet Joanie Crump. A Bisexual creative producer based in Hartlepool. We talk through her role within The Hartlepool Folk Festival, exciting plans to bring brand new Queer festival 'Eek' into Hartlepool and learn about Joanie's incredible Queer Heroes from the folk world.

Fiona King is a BBC Newcastle Radio presente, Drag King performer 'Stevie Wonderful', and (as noted by her) a mother to two incredible children.

We learn about Fiona's relationship with faith, facing prejudice as a Disabled performer, her love of Soul music, and the power of reaching people with her voice on the Radio.

Featuring the glorious Lady Kitt. They are a Maker, Researcher, Performer and Drag King. (And also my Grandad too...)

Beryl Carss is an 87 year old retired teacher, a Geordie and my granny. We get such a clear picture of her world and it's not what always what you'd expect. Gratitude and love is shared as well as some painful moments too.

The Bridge attempts to connect communities together, through comical, challenging and open conversation. It's not always easy, but it's powerful. We have more in common than we think.
