This week Ashleigh is joined by award winning theatre-maker, writer and performer Travis Alabanza. Travis talks about starting their career performing at London night-clubs, creating their smash-hit show Burgerz and the need for more black, trans and gender non-conforming voices on our stages.

In our spotlight on section, we hear from Flood Theatre, who are part of this year's Homotopia QueerCore programme and finally we have some art recommendations from our community.

The Queer Gaze is a LGBTQIA+ arts podcast produced and hosted by Ashleigh Owen (@ashleigh___owen / ashleighowen.co.uk) and supported by Homotopia (@homotopiafest / homotopia.net).
