Frankie Fearce on not just coming out… but coming out swinging

In this episode, I sit with comedian (and world’s most iconic forklift driver) Frankie Fearce (she/they).

 

CW: I am so very grateful for the honesty that Frankie shared her story with. Some listeners may want a heads-up that they talk about religious trauma and suicide in this episode. As always, LGBTQIA+ resources are linked below.

 

We discuss Frankie’s satirical character comedy show DAZZA, making a conscious effort to live in Queer community, experimenting with labels until we find the right fit for us, homecoming moments on dancefloors, unlearning who we have been told we are, moments that made us stop caring what others thought and knowing who we are is not a choice but fully and unapologetically embracing who we are is.
