Description
Storytellers from a range of backgrounds, ages and cultures share stories of LGBTQ+ lives past, present and future. With a different line-up at every show featuring household names alongside upcoming storytellers and the occasional audience micro-story. Sometimes hilarious, often moving, occasionally shocking and always queer. Hosted year-round by Turan Ali (Producer of BBC comedy/drama), this Fringe edition of the Scottish Storytelling Centre's bimonthly event will showcase some of the best queer talent from across the festival.

These shows are absolutely fabulous. Turan Ali and his guest acts always deliver a great mix of stories bringing joy, fun, laughter and sometimes tears. I particularly like how the audience can - only if they like - provide their own micro-stories. These can be incredibly moving. You can’t leave without feeling uplifted.

What an great evening and host . A safe space and a comfortable place for people to be honest about themselves and tell the most amazing stories of their life’s history so far and hopefully overcoming fear , abuse and persecution from many directions with plenty humour and laughs included on the way .
Uplifting for the speakers / musicians and definitely for the audience. Long may it continue
