Min søn er queer (men hvad kan man gøre?)

The run of My Son's a Queer (But What Can You Do?) at the Apollo Theatre closed on 3 Oct 2026. Written and performed by Rob Madge, this solo autobiographical musical comedy turns a childhood obsession into a warm, joyful celebration of being yourself, with home video footage, quick costume changes and a homemade Disney parade brought to a proper stage.

What is My Son's a Queer (But What Can You Do?) about?

The show recreates Rob Madge's childhood attempt to stage a full Disney parade inside the family home, with Dad on sound and floats and Mum in the audience. Madge plays a string of beloved characters, weaving family memories and real home video into a coming-of-age story that is as touching as it is funny. It is a tribute to the parents who said yes, and a feel-good story about growing up queer with love and encouragement.

Who created My Son's a Queer (But What Can You Do?)?
