TOM BALLARD Interview: The Queer Kingdom

Arts, Comedy, History, Performing Arts, Podcasting, Society & Culture

Brett, Tim and Nige are joined by comedian, writer, and satirist Tom Ballard to chat about his new play The Queer Kingdom. Inspired by the real-life Gay and Lesbian Kingdom of the Coral Sea Islands, this play explores one of Australia’s most bizarre and brilliant queer protests. Tom shares insights into the kingdom’s history, the challenges of writing for theatre versus stand-up, and what it all means for queer identity today. Plus, a fun discussion on what roles they’d play in a modern-day queer utopia!
