Queer Folks' Tales: 5th Birthday Show

Queer Folks’ Tales celebrates its 5th birthday exactly where it started in October 2021, in Scotland’s national theatre for storytelling, with rave reviews and awards under its belt!Queer Folks’ Tales 5th birthday line-up is packed with some of our regular storytellers from our first 5 years.

As always, our LGBTQ+ storytellers from around Edinburgh and Scotland share stories of queer lives, past, present and future.

Sometimes hilarious, often moving, occasionally shocking, the mix of true and fictional stories is as varied as the range of storytellers we invite.

As always, many of the stories told on Queer Folks' Tales evenings will be true stories of LGBTQ+ experience in Scotland today.Hosted as ever by Edinburgh’s Turan Ali, who is joined for the 5th birthday show by poet Janette Ayachi, playwright Jo Clifford, stand-up Madhushika Fernando, boylesque artist Tom Harlow and singer-songwriters Cera Impala and Mike McKenzie.
