In this Edinburgh Fringe special, Harvey Morton speaks with Ryan Stewart about ‘KINDER’, a chaotic and tender exploration of drag, childhood, and the moral panic surrounding queer visibility. Ryan shares how a humorous misunderstanding - a drag artist accidentally booked for a children’s reading hour -evolved into a powerful commentary on censorship and reactionary politics. Through the character of German drag clown Goody Prostate, the show spirals from comedy into poignant reflections on growing up neurodivergent and queer, finding sanctuary in imagination, and the persistent attacks on drag performers worldwide. KINDER blends drag, theatre, and storytelling to examine what happens when we start repeating our own histories and forget where our stories come from.

Catch ‘KINDER’ at Underbelly Cowgate (Big Belly) from July 31st to August 24th, 2025 (not 6th, 13th, 20th), at 18:40. Tickets available from £8.50 (previews) to £14 at www.underbellyedinburgh.co.uk. Follow @goodyprostate on Instagram.

In this Edinburgh Fringe special, Harvey Morton speaks with Beth Paterson about ‘NIUSIA’, a powerful one-woman show exploring memory, matriarchy, and Jewish identity. Beth shares how she transformed her complex relationship with her Holocaust-survivor grandmother into a theatrical journey that weaves together cabaret, testimony, and spoken word. The conversation delves into what it means to inherit cultural legacy while growing up disconnected from one’s heritage, the balance between honoring difficult family members and acknowledging their flaws, and how humor can illuminate even the darkest stories. 80 years after the liberation of Auschwitz, NIUSIA asks profound questions about remembrance and whose responsibility it is to carry forward these histories.

Catch ‘NIUSIA’ at Summerhall (Former Women’s Locker Room) from July 31st to August 25th, 2025 (not 11th, 18th), at 13:20. Tickets available for £17 (£14.50) at www.summerhallarts.co.uk.

In this heartfelt episode of Queerly’s Stage and Screen Podcast, Harvey Morton is joined by beloved content creator Mark Ferris, who opens up about his journey to authenticity both online and off.

Mark shares the evolution of his content creation since 2015, from his breakthrough Zoella Beauty review to finding his voice as a creator who celebrates the things he truly loves. He discusses how his friendship with Zoe Sugg shaped his approach to content and gave him the confidence to be more vulnerable with his audience.

We dive deep into Mark’s coming out experience, discussing how he navigated uncomfortable questions before he was ready and the profound impact that Schitt’s Creek had on his decision to come out to his parents during lockdown. Mark reflects on the importance of positive LGBTQ+ representation in media and how seeing David and Patrick’s relationship portrayed so beautifully gave him the courage to embrace his authentic self.

Mark also takes us through his solo travel journey, which began in York and Whitby in 2021 and has since blossomed into an empowering part of his life. He reveals how these adventures transformed him from someone who couldn’t bear to be alone with his thoughts to someone who now craves solitude and independence.

In one of the most touching moments of our conversation, Mark opens up about the loss of his auntie and how that grief has shifted his perspective on life, encouraging him to take bigger risks and embrace joy whenever possible.

We round off our chat with Mark’s surprising appearance on First Dates and the advice he would give to his younger self just starting out in content creation.

This week on Queerly's Stage and Screen Podcast, we're diving into the world of Jake Brunger's FOUR PLAY with its stellar cast. Daniel Bravo (fresh from his run as Aaron Samuels in Mean Girls), Lewis Cornay, Jo Foster and Zheng Xi Yong join Harvey Morton to discuss this intimate exploration of modern queer relationships at the historic Kings Head Theatre.

In this revealing conversation, we explore:

• The complex dynamics between the four characters navigating monogamy, open relationships, and sexual desire
• Daniel's transition from West End spectacle to intimate theatre (plus hints about those workout scenes to look forward to!)
• Lewis's experience playing a character his own age for the first time and finding the script "alarmingly relatable"
• Jo's journey from 'Why Am I So Single' to playing a secure, self-assured character in an open relationship
• How the play presents four distinct queer characters without falling into stereotypes
• The evolution of queer storytelling moving beyond trauma narratives
• What makes the Kings Head Theatre the perfect venue for this production

The cast also share their theatre green and red flags, favourite shows they've seen this year, and what they hope audiences will take away from FOUR PLAY.

FOUR PLAY runs at the Kings Head Theatre from 11 Jul-17 Aug 2025. For tickets and more information, visit kingsheadtheatre.com.
