  • Summary

  • We advise listeners that this podcast contains strong language, adult themes and content that some people may find triggering. Listener discretion is advised.

    In this unflinchingly honest documentary and memoir, comedian Josh Thomas asks the big question: how do I be gay? Irreverent but informative, Josh Thomas speaks to a party of hilarious and experienced queer storytellers as they share true tales and advice on how to be gay.

    When I was a teenager trying to work out how to be gay I would ask google impossible questions. 'Am I gay?' 'How can I test if I’m gay?' 'If I’m gay do I have to do anal?' It didn’t work. Google is a cool place to go to ask questions that have answers, like 'Where can I get an iced oat latte?' But it isn’t a good place to go to look within. Now, I am a grown, fully-qualified homosexual and I am talking to other fully-qualified queers to answer the questions Google couldn’t.

    Featuring: David Sedaris, Tig Notaro, Dan Savage, Tony Kushner, Titus Burgess, Joel Kim Booster, Katja Blichfeld, Cole Escole, Dewayne Perkins and Josh Thomas’ Mum.

    After making his mark as an award-winning and hugely-successful stand-up comedian, Josh Thomas turned his hand to writing, acting and co-executive producing his own television show, inspired by his life and his comedy, Please Like Me. Josh is now based in LA where he has created and stars in Everything’s Gonna Be Okay.
