Charlie Hides talks Madonna, Lady Gaga and Cher

The multi-talented Charlie Hides tells the story behind his hit YouTube channel and the immensely popular series ‘Madonna’s Lady Gaga Nightmare’.

I’ve got a very dark sense of humour. It’s very politically incorrect. My live show is completely different from what I do on YouTube.

Andrei Vishnyakov talks lighting and naked straight men

Polari talks to photographer Andrei Vishnyakov about being a gay man photographing straight men.

I am more interested in the inner world of my models. I know all photographers say that, and don’t get me wrong, a good butt is a must!

An interview with Kate Smith and Babs Guthrie

Polari talks to the founders of the LGBT history project Write Queer London.

I think gay people are also a bit scared to own history when looking back beyond a certain time, there’s a feeling that we don’t know anything at all, which isn’t true.

An interview with Steve Rosenthal

Polari talks to artist Steve Rosenthal about his work with Gaydar profile pictures, and his series We do not have homosexuals like in your country. In our country we do not have this. In Iran this phenomenon does not exist. Interview by Christopher Bryant and Bryon Fear.

We are more able to represent ourselves as we wish, but if you go to one of the 7 countries that have the death penalty for homosexuality, or one of the 82 countries where it’s still illegal, that’s impossible.

An interview with Jonathan Kemp.

The author of London Triptych talks pornography, philosophy and the meaning of sex in his new book Twenty-Six.

In terms of me personally I had to overcome a certain reticence in writing these things, because however much it might be autobiographical or however much it might be fictional, people read it in a simplistic way, thinking these things correspond to one’s life.

The multi-talented Sabrina Chap talks dirty!

Polari chats with Sabrina about playing live in the UK, her album Oompa!, and the shameless lyrics of “the dirty song”.

Interview by Christopher Bryant and Bryon Fear.

The first burlesque show I did was just after coming off the open mike scene, and I thought, ok, I’d better be sexy, and I literally came out in my bra and underpants, and I was like “What? Here’s my fucking costume.” All the other girls where in character.

Does X Factor have any worth?

Asked one question about the impact of X-Factor on the music industry, the marvellous Darren Hayes responds in clear detail. Bravo!

Would I have gone on X Factor if I were starting out today? Absolutely. But I think I would have burnt up in the initial audition process.

An in-depth conversation with Jonathan Kemp about his novel London Triptych.

Polari Magazine talks writing, Oscar Wilde and pornography with Jonathan Kemp on the eve of the publication of London Triptych, his debut novel.

It was very important to me that it was if not sexy then at least sexual. And sexual in a very different way, one that wasn’t necessarily pornographic.

The mind behind Sister Wendy: The Musical returns to the stage.

Marcus Reeves talks about Screwged!, his take on A Christmas Carol, and his wonderful cabaret act The Singing Christmas Tree.

The Scrooge story is traditionally very dark and I think that’s what we’ll deliver, with some very rude bits added too.
