Don't Frighten The Straights @ King's Head Theatre
London on 03 - 04 Nov - various


Hilariously indiscreet true stories about modern gay lives, some as heard on BBC Radio 4, performed by mouthy old ethnic poof and BBC comedy/drama producer Turan Ali. Our lives are not all like Ru Pauls Drag Race or Queer Eye for the Straight Guy. The gay world is full of queers getting up to extraordinary things. This is the warts-n-all antidote to the new gay stereotypes. Londoner Turan Ali has been having gay experiences around the world for years. # In this one man show, he confesses to many unbelievably true, occasionally shocking, often moving and sometimes jaw-droppingly surprising stories, all peppered with camp, outrageous, sexually revealing humour. Cheeky smut THE SCOTSMAN. A mix of theatre, comedy and storytelling. Following acclaimed shows in Amsterdam, Vienna, Really entertaining KRONEN ZEITUNG, and Edinburgh Fringe 2019 One of our 30 favourite shows at Fringe 2019 SCENE ALBA MAGAZINE These are the first London performances of a show thats been invited to Fringe festivals worldwide. Top LGBT pick for Edinburgh Fringe 2019 VADA MAGAZINE Hilarious and eye-opening RADIO TIMES (FOR THE STORIES ON BBC RADIO 4) A recommended evening to anyone who likes a good tale so well told FRINGE REVIEW Turan Ali is a great storyteller ALL EDINBURGH THEATRE "Camp as tits and absolutely brilliant!"
