About My Son’s A Queer (But What Can You Do?)
When Rob was twelve, they attempted a full-blown Disney parade in their house for their Grandma. As Rob donned wigs and played Mary Poppins, Ariel, Mickey Mouse and Belle, their Dad doubled as Stage Manager, Sound Technician and Goofy. Unfortunately, Dad missed all his cues and pushed all the floats in the wrong direction. Mum mistook Aladdin for Ursula. The costumes went awry. Grandma had a nice time, though.
My Son’s a Queer (But What Can You Do?) is the joyous autobiographical story of West End Musical Theatre star and social-media sensation Rob Madge, as they set out to recreate that parade - and this time, nobody, no, nobody is gonna rain on it.

What It Feels Like
- Pure queer joy
- Deeply moving
- Warm embrace
You’ll Love This If…
- You grew up as a theatre kid who felt different
- You appreciate deeply personal storytelling with heart and humour
- You want to laugh out loud one moment and cry the next
Start to finish smiles and shimmer while still delivering poignant messaging is hard to pull off, but this was a show we saw on a whim that I will now enthusiastically recommend (particularly to parents). A great experience from the moment we entered the theater and a spectacular performance.
Beautiful storyteller who took us through every emotion that left our hearts full
Funny, heartwarming and bursting with positivity!
