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!
