Queer Diary

Queer performers read REAL teenage diaries, poetry, fanfic & more!

Featuring a different line-up each time, Queer Diary has gained a cult following, with crowds coming back for more angsty teenage diaries, long-lost love letters, fabulous fan-fiction, terrible Tumblr posts, and possibly the odd bit of cringey poetry!

Come for a line-up of the best of LGBTQIA+ talent - stay for the hilarious, heartfelt & never-before-heard highs-and-lows of their coming-of-age era scribblings.

"A space to look back on our formative years with laughter and kindness… Often funny, sometimes moving and heart-warming, always entertaining" – ★★★★★ Reviews Hub

Hosted by Beth Watson - “an incredibly funny, charismatic performer” - ★★★★ West End With Me; "The verbatim diary entries… are admittedly shocking – and hilarious” ★★★★★ - A Young(ish) Perspective; “Joyful comedy throughout" ★★★★ - To Do List.

Audiences say: “It's like that Mortified podcast, but all queer!”, “a joy to be part of”, “It’s so affirming - I’ve been 3 times!”
