Show notes

Joining me in the garden this week is the glorious Ginger Johnson! 🌿😍
Champion of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK, MasterChef maestro and all round delight, it was such a joy to chat with Ginger. I cannot wait to see her brand new show, Show Pony, hit the road later this year! Tickets are available at gingerjohnson.co.uk.
🎭 We chat about theatrical beginnings, depressing queer cinema, the noughties drag scene and our shared love of Alan Bennett. Ginger also shares a rather harrowing garden tale involving guinea pigs, so that is something to look forward to!
Now, sweep away those ants, pause that episode of ’Allo ’Allo!, and come Pottering with me. 🐜🐜🐜
