Om forestillingen
The run of Rob Madge's My Son's a Queer (But What Can You Do?) at the Apollo Theatre closed on 3 Oct 2026.
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?)?
Rob Madge writes and performs the one-person show, directed by Luke Sheppard, with songs by Pippa Cleary. The production won Best Off-West End Production at the WhatsOnStage Awards.
