Queerguru first met London-based queer playwright, performer, director and producer. ALEXIS GREGORY some years back when he wrote and starred in SEX/CRIME some five years ago. Since that interview, Queerguru has become both a fan of his work and his friend. We were more than happy to be able to report on his outstanding success with RIOT ACT his remarkable verbatim show, created entirely word for word out of interviews with three key players in the history of the LGBTQ+ rights movement.
Now Gregory is back in our sights again with his latest performance piece FUTURE PIECE which he is bringing to Bethnal Green’s Town Hall Hotel for two nights only later this month. Queerguru’s Contributing Editor Ris Fatah will be in the audience to review the piece but meanwhile, Queerguru Editor In Chief filmed a Zoom interview with Gregory to talk about what we can expect from his look into the future
Brit Playwright and performer Alexis Gregory talks about Riot Act, a powerful, brand new verbatim theatre piece, created especially for the King’s Head Theatre‘s Queer Season in London, which will premiere Tuesday 31 July – Sunday 5 August.
Gregory interviewed one of the only remaining Stonewall survivors – the 1969 NYC riot that kick stared the gay rights movement; a member of a 1970’s London radical-drag troupe- underground alternative performance icon Lavinia Co-Op; and prominent 90’s London ACT UP AIDS activist Paul Burston. All three men spoke about their lives then and their lives now. Riot Act is shaped entirely, word for word, out of these interviews.
This interview with Roger Walker-Dack for www.queergurutv.com was filmed via Facetime

For our next queerguru reports for P.T.V. Channel 99 we got to interview a real religious icon, Mary Mother of God herself who is now living in London and known as The Virgin Xtravaganzah. She tells Mary’s story through a whole series of pop songs re-written with some scandalous lyrics. Here then is a teaser trailer of our report that will be broadcast on P.T.V very soon.
When you make Provincetown your summer home it’s impossible to miss Randy Roberts. Literally. Over 6ft tall dressed as Cher she comes careering down Commercial Street on her electric scooter at breakneck speed. She tends to get away with it as in this gay mecca on the tip of Cape Cod she is recognized as Drag Royalty. Hard to believe she has been a big star here for the past 25 years (especially as she is allegedly only 39 years old) and this year her one-woman show is called Randy Roberts Aging Disgracefully.
We caught up with Randy as she was wrapping up the summer season and about to fly to London to star at Crazy Coqs, London’s premiere Cabaret Club ….again…. as we Brits have also fallen for her charm too

The actress Sandra Dickinson left her native Washington DC in 1970 to follow an Englishman man back to his home country. Even though that relationship didn’t have a happy ever after ending, she fell in love with the country and stayed. The English fell in love with her too and for the past almost 50 years she has had a very successful career flitting between TV movies and the Theatre. Last year she starred in a play about Lucille Ball which gave her the best reviews of her career, and now she’s found herself another meaty role in The Unbuilt City that is due to open next week. We caught up with her via a Facetime when she had just rushed home from rehearsals
