Due to record ticket sales, ‘My Son’s A Queer, But What Can You Do?’ written by and performed by Rob Madge, has now extended its run at the Turbine Theatre by two weeks and will now play until 17 July. 

The show, which celebrates the joy and chaos of raising a queer child, invites the audience to delve into the archives of Rob’s old home videos of his attempt to stage a full-blown Disney parade at home with the help of his family as he attempts to recreate this parade and celebrate the joy that can be discovered when parents champion the creativity and absurdity of their child. 

Paul Taylor-Mills, the Artistic Director of the Turbine Theatre, has said ‘Over the last year, we’ve all spent a lot of time online. We’ve seen performers relish in the digital world and seeing Rob’s rise to social media notoriety has fascinated me. The first time I watched one of Rob’s childhood videos I burst into tears. It reminded me of my childhood and that there is another side of the queer narrative that is often presented on stage. And that was that we set about sharing Rob’s beautiful story with more people’.
