The moment we read the first lines of the synopsis of FLICKER a new play heading to Edinburgh Festival Fringe, we knew we need to know more. It read “Have you ever thought about your dad’s c*ck at a funeral? If so, you’d probably dismiss it. But what if your brain couldn’t do that?” This hilarious modern-day queer farce. goes from one of many intrusive thoughts to a real feeling, but it= asks how do you know what’s true, or intrusive? If you can’t trust your own thoughts, what can you trust?
Flicker explores Pure OCD and is from the fevered mind of Gaby Foley a recent graduate from the Royal Welsh Drama School who has based so much of her own experiences into this her debut play . Although when QUEERGURU caught up with her she went out of her way to reassure us that she hadn’t ever really thought about her about her father’s genitalia
Direct from Las Vegas, leggy drag legend EDIE where she starred as the emcee, the “Mistress of Sensuality,” in Cirque du Soleil’s hit show ZUMANITY at the NY-NY Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas for 13 years, is back in Ptown. She has a sizzling new show which celebrates the 30th Anniversary of the cult movie PRISCILLA QUEEN OF THE DESERT Appearing in PTown’s fab new RED ROOM Edie also shares her love of living in the Mojave Desert where the heat is hotter than the men. Just Queerguru caught up with her as she stepped off the stage after another dazzling performance one Monday night.
The global lockdown caused by the COVID pandemic gave rise to a deal of imaginative thinking as to what to do with ourselves now that most of our lives were on hold. In Melbourne Australia, queer comic and performer DARBY JAMES decided he not only wanted to help the world continue procreating, but that as a good show tunes queen he would set it all to music. too.
His award winning show LITTLE SQUIRT was the result of his fevered brow , and once QUEERGURU heard that he was headed to perform it at the EDINBURGH FESTIVAL FRINGE, we knew we just had to ask him to dish about the show..
After all its not many gay men who may be personally responsible for producing a whole new generation of Australians and It puts a whole new meaning to on of our favorite gay bar expressions ‘call me daddy!”
Mark Bittlestone claims he is the only gay comic in the world. Which in his neck of woods in the UK is known as a ‘porky pie’. He is however part of a new wave of younger comedians who are really making waves around the globe.
QUEERGURU caught up with him as he was preparing to make tracks for the Edinburgh Festival Fringe where he is performing his brand new show I NEED A STRAIGHT MAN. The title is a trope for every gay man at sometime in their life . He is not only hilariously funny with a very infectious sense of humor but he is also discerningly charming : if anyone can net themselves one of Scotlands finest, it will be him.
The annual TENNESSEE WILLIAMS THEATER FESTIVAL is one of THE cultural highlights of PROVINCETOWN’s year. This celebration of the work of this legendary American writer honors the fact he spent 4 summers here in the 1940’s and created some of his finest work here. During this time he fell in love with a young man named KIp , and some 40 years later he wrote about it in SOMETHING CLOUDY SOMETHING CLEAR.
This is part of the 2024 program ,and so Queerguru caught up with actor Luke Philip Bosco who has been cast to play the part of Kip. He has also been cast in one of William’s most well known plays THE GLASS MENAGARIE that will also playing in repertoire in this years Festival.
This is also proving to be a red-letter year for Luke as his second movie JANET PLANET is just about to be released ….so we had a lot to talk about.
