Interviews

Jake Dibeler by Roman Udalov

Winter is coming? It seems not. Thanks to Jake Dibeler and Roman Udalov, Summer Is A-Cumen In all over again and we are totally in bloom. We’ve been trying to pin Jake down for, literally, the last two years, but he is a busy guy. Thankfully when he came to Barcelona last month, we were able to sit him […]

What does it mean to ‘be a man’? Oh god, right? Such a loaded and controversial question and one we, in our queer world, have been debating or unpicking or dismissing or whatever for an age now. With masc vs sissy, ideas of ‘born this way’ vs social construction and trans* experience getting more and […]

Theatre should provoke. And if it makes an audience uncomfortable then it’s doing its job. A very Brechtian approach, of course, and only one type of theatre but a type nonetheless. When it’s about right wing LGBTQI people then it really should shock and disturb. But I also suspect that Scottee’s directorial debut at The […]

FHB Loverboy

Pre-Brexit, Scottee travelled the […]

A queer night celebrating everything country, honkytonk, cowgirl camp and Dolly Parton, you say? Uh, yeah, Loverboy’s Fallon Gold is most definitely in. We spoke with co-organizer Emily about YEE HAW: A Night of Glamour and Country Divas. Tell us what we can expect at YEE HAW. At YEE HAW you can expect high hair, […]

Ciarla Loverboy

Sure Modern art is cute and camp and all, but if you’re looking for something a little more masc4masc then you wanna head for the Renaissance period, filled with hot bodies of those Roman & Greek gods, six packs carved out of stone. Someone who is only too familiar with this era is Ciarla, who […]

Matt Kugelman Loverboy

Bebe Zahara Benet. Tyra Sanchez. It’s fair to say that because you win RuPaul’s Drag Race it does not mean you go on to have world fame. Well, Bianca Del Rio is not content with simply going on tour with the other queens. No ma’am, she is making own movie, entitled Hurricane Bianca no less. […]
