The larger-than-life comedian/singer Mama Tits (a mere 7’4″ tall when she is dressed) finally makes her #PTown debut with her aptly named show BIG & LOUD at the Post Office Cafe and Cabaret for the rest of the summer season. She took time out to talk with QUEERGURU about her passion for bluesy jazz (which so suits her remarkable voice), her new life in Mexico, and as an ex Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, Inc., her passion for activism too….. and so much more
Filmed at The Post Office Cabaret by Dan Desjardins
Mark Farrelly is a Brit actor and writer who has created and starred in three stunning plays about three remarkable queer icons. He has performed them to great acclaim in the West End and on Tour over 400 times now. He is about to bring a double bill of them to London’s Wiltons Music Hall and so Queerguru talked with him about QUENTIN CRISP; NAKED HOPE and also JARMAN … about the artist, film-maker, gardener and activist Derek Jarman
Both Crisp and Jarman were influential figures in the evolution of the queer movement and helped many of us shape our own queer destinies.
Danny Valentine and his husband Andy talked to Queerguru about their exceptional new movie THE MATTACHINE FAMILY. Named after the very first gay rights group, the film is based on their own experiences as a couple planning parenthood. Given the current contentious political climate, this story that explores contemporary queer parenting is both brave and heartbreaking, and you find yourself inadvertently routing for them every inch of the way. Even non-paternal types like our Editor who conducted the interview on the eve of the film screening at OUTFEST in LA
In From The Side is a rare genre of queer movies. It’s a love story set in a gay rugby club. Brit filmmaker #MattCarter’s story is about winning and losing …… on the rugby field and in the bedroom, and it is an enchanting compelling tale that will have you transfixed until the ‘final score” Its currently screening in UK cinemas nationwide & playing in major US Film Fests like Out On FilmReeling Film FestSeattle Queer Film FestivalOUTshine Film Festival etc. Queerguru caught up with him after his UK release to talk about his success
