Nigel's guest today is legendary drag performer Jackie Beat. Her razor sharp comedy and hysterical song parodies have entertained people around the world for over thirty five years. Her one-woman show Jackie Beat Is A Whole Lotta’ Love ran for a record-beating eighteen months at hip New York cabaret spot, Fez. She has starred in Sex And The City, been in countless movies, one alongside Robert De Niro and has written material for everyone from Margaret Cho and Elvira through to Jennifer Coolidge and Sandra Bernhard. She’s also the lead singer of the Electroclash band Dirty Sanchez. She’s a busy lady.This series is a celebration of a beautiful queer community; people of all ages, people who have had to tread their own path to live their real truth, who have fought with their emotions and emerged victorious, who inspire, who aspire and always entertain. Hosted by Nigel May. Every week, Nigel speaks to a person from the LGBTQ+ rainbow to hear their story; one person, one life, one conversation.
