Reviews are in for the West End run of Rob Madge's autobiographical show My Son's a Queer, (But What Can You Do?). Performances began October 21 at the Garrick Theatre for a run through November 6.
Beginning with Madge at age 12 as they attempt to create a full scale Disney parade in their house for their grandmother, My Son's a Queer tells the story of raising a queer child with all of its joys and chaos. It originally premiered at Off-West End's The Turbine Theatre in 2021 where it sold out, subsequently transferring to Edinburgh Fringe for another sold-out run.
