Household names feature alongside new and diverse queer storytellers from the different communities of Scotland. Many of the stories told in the Queer Folks' Tales evenings will be true stories of LGBTQ+ experience in Scotland today. Hosted by Edinburgh’s Turan Ali. who is joined on Thu 9 Oct by stand up Giulia Galastro, writer and illustrator Themo H. Peel and poet and writer Orla Shortall.
