Episode 29: Jonny Collins

Jonny Collins is a glorious comedian whose boundless energy is a joy to behold, exploring the fallacies of gender through the lense of their own experience with an absurdist bent. She's the fantastic host of Blizzard Comedy, very much the spiritual Northern sibling to our dear QL, and also a QL competition winner from back in the day!    

Alongside a superb set, Jonny talks with host and MC James Ross about gender, the fetishisation of trans bodies and 9/11.

CWs: Experiences of Gender dysphoria, 9/11

EDIT NOTE: Ok, the crowd sound kind of weird during the live set as there was the loudest fan in existence running throughout. I've done what I can to clean it up and make sure you can hear Jonny. If you're unsure of what the QL audience sound like you can go to a stony beach and listen to the tide hit against the pebbles. It's like that but with laughs.

If you'd like to see more from Jonny, as mentioned earlier you can check out Blizzard Comedy if you're in the Manchester area or you can check out their social media HERE.
