In this episode, I sit with Performer, Producer and Comedian Lukas Meintjes (he/him).
We discuss Lukas growing up gay in Zimbabwe, his extended run of If You’re From Africa? at the Adelaide Fringe and upcoming run at Melbourne International Comedy Festival, the factors outside of our control when coming out, criminalized homosexuality and how those beliefs are carried down generations, the ongoing process of being out and proud, parents who encourage you to be yourself without realising, and we hear from Lukas’ mum, Noeleen!
