⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Rob Madge's My Son's a queer (But what can you do) won the Whatsonstage award for best off West-end production in 2022.
I can see why!
A beautiful, pitch perfect performance from an experienced west-end wonder at the top of their game. A truly wonderful show with so much heart and love.
The quality of this piece is astonishing. I was not ready for this on my first day, on Rob's first day and only my second Edinburgh Fringe show of the year!
Rob's voice and stage presence are outstanding. I cried. I laughed. I leapt to my feet in standing ovation (along with the rest of the sobbing, cheering audience). I had high expectations, but they were exceeded.
What we witness is Rob's childhood efforts to put on a Disney parade (or two) in their living room. It has more drama than Coronation street. And musical theatre songs!
I feel honoured that Rob shared this part of their lives with us. It deserves to be shared!
Rob is a gem. Rob's parents and grandparents will make you sob with joy and gratitude.
If I lived in Edinburgh I would go see this show every day of the fringe.
Love. Love. Love. Deserves all the stars.
Buy tickets. NOW!
