Today, we’re stepping into the beautifully chaotic world of comedy, clowning and fearless storytelling with Kate Owens — a New York–based actor, comedian and award-winning clown, and a 2025 Edinburgh Comedy Award Best Newcomer nominee.

We’ll be talking about her critically acclaimed debut hour Cooking with Kathryn, coming to Soho Theatre from 5–10 January 2026, and exploring the freeing power of clowning, creative risk-taking, queer self-discovery, and the joy of embracing mess on stage.

I’m WellWellMiguel, and today we’re diving into a world of drag, theatre, film, and fearless queer storytelling with an extraordinary guest — Amrou Al-Kadhi.

You’ll know Amrou as an award-winning writer, performer, and filmmaker, and of course for their dazzling drag persona Glamrou. From starring in American Horror Stories to writing the acclaimed memoir Life as a Unicorn, and directing their debut feature Layla, which premiered at Sundance 2024, Amrou’s work has been a masterclass in visibility, vulnerability, and vision.

Now, they’re bringing their explosive solo show GLAMROU: DRAG MOTHER to EartH Hackney on 18 October 2025 — a glitter-drenched fever dream where Glamrou faces their fiercest rival yet: their own Muslim mother. It’s a celebration of Arab identity, queerness, and self-expression — unfiltered, political, and gloriously alive.

We’ll be talking about drag as survival and self-love, about Arab queer representation in film and theatre, and about how Amrou turns faith, trauma, and family into radiant, radical art.

And of course — stick around for The Gay Agenda, where we’ll explore stories that echo Amrou’s journey: the bold, the spiritual, and the beautifully complicated world of queer identity. Also, please participate in our Q.I. – Queerly Interesting poll!
