A Gay Old Time

John Barrowman "My world shattered and everything changed for me"

02 Jul 2025

Description

Nigel's guest today is John Barrowman. John is one of the most famous faces of stage and screen, having worked tirelessly for decades on stage in theatre productions like Miss Saigon, Sunset Boulevard, The Phantom Of The Opera and Hair and on TV shows like Dancing On Ice, Live & Kicking, This Morning and Desperate Housewives. He played one of the most iconic Dr Who characters ever, Captain Jack Harkness, a character whose popularity was so great it triggered a spin-off series, Torchwood. Allegations against John have seen one of the showbusiness world’s most famous faces disappear from our screens and led him to a very dark place. But now John, a gay man whose voice has always been there to educate and fight misjustices within the queer community, is back and he is ready to shine once more.This series is a celebration of a beautiful queer community; people of all ages, people who have had to tread their own path to live their real truth, who have fought with their emotions and emerged victorious, who inspire, who aspire and always entertain. Hosted by Nigel May. Every episode Nigel speaks to a person from the LGBTQIA+ rainbow to hear their story; one person, one life, one conversation. And it always guarantees A Gay Old Time!Follow the podcast on TikTok @agayoldtime and on Instagram @agayoldtimepodcast  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
