In this episode, I sit with Writer and Comedian (and hopefully my future BFF) Alayne Dick (she/her).
Via a disconnected mic on my end and a dodgy internet connection on Alayne’s (but the show must go on, and go on it did, the content is worth it because Alayne is wonderful) we discussed Alayne’s upcoming shows in Australia — bringing her show Purple is the Gayest Colour to Adelaide and Melbourne, people assuming we are straight, starting rumours about ourselves, Alayne’s incredible ability to have zero celebrity crushes, alt comedy vs mainstream comedy, becoming the queer elder you needed when you were younger and why we should all be disruptive and weird with our art!

Boysober
Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
