Manchester Podcast Festival: A Gay and A Non Gay

BUY TICKETS

Born in 2017, A Gay and A NonGay has continued to grow into the UK’s leading LGBTQ+ podcast that it is today.

Released weekly, James and Dan dive into conversations around day to day life, differences in perceptions, homophobia, coming out, mental health and lighter topics like dating. Expect audience interaction, a hilarious parody of ‘QueerEye’ as Dan lends his hetero gaze to the Gay community in ‘NonGay-Eye’ and a laugh-out-loud look at issues affecting Gay and NonGay people in an absurdly simple but hilarious premise; what divides us makes us laugh harder.
