Introducing HAM! @hotterproject is making their return to the @edfringe this August with this new show. A grief-stricken vegan seeks revenge for the death of a pig. First, he thinks for a long time. Second, he blames his mother. Finally, he wreaks the ultimate vengeance... by putting on a play. HAM is a kinky eco-hijacking of Shakespeare’s Hamlet about meat, madness and the power of shame. @summerhallarts Old Lab 6-30 August, 19:30 Tickets available now! 📸 @hollyrevellphotography Styling @_rutini__

A bisexual knows only too well that change is the only constant in this life. We are happy/sad/grateful/proud to announce that we have decided to stop making Life of Bi! We decided to make LOB at the end of 2020 when the UK was in the middle of a lockdown. Theatres were shut, all our upcoming shows had been cancelled, and we had no idea what to do. We thought making a podcast would fill the time and the creative chasm. It would also (maybe, hopefully) create a haven of queerness in our sequestered little worlds. And (we dreamed!) be a space where bi-phobia and bi-erasure were BANISHED.  LOB has now been a constant in our lives (despite patchy upload schedules lol) for FIVE YEARS. We had big aims for the podcast - community! solidarity! a bi network?! - and the crazy thing is... we think we managed it. We are so grateful for the support we've received over the years: from our Patreons, and also from people just messaging us and letting us know how eps are landing with them, stories from their lives, little windows into their worlds. There is a proper web of people holding each other out there, and it's beautiful. Thanks to all our amazing contributors over the years. It was an honour to interview so many heroes. And HUGE thanks to our sound designer @tomfoskettbarnes who has been integral to not just mixing and mastering the files and making the banging theme tune (come ON, I remember we bopped round the room when we first heard it, punching the air) - but also suggesting topics, being a sounding board, and something of a dramaturgical guru. Final episode is out now! (It actually has been out for a week: we just are, have always been, and always will be, bad at admin.) Thank you LOBBERS - love from Ell and Mary xxxxxx #podcast #goodbye #bisexuality #queer #bisexual

Hello beauties 💫 We don’t know where the time has gone but suddenly it’s nearly a month to go until Desire Lines and we still have so much to tell you about! Strap in for lots more in the next few weeks 💌 Today we’re shining a spotlight on the theatre, comedy + drag artists in the Piano Room. Yes, you know who they are, but what are they 𝓭𝓸𝓲𝓷𝓰? We’ve invited these artists to take creative risks and share whatever they feel like, and as a result we’re going to be treated to some very tasty new works-in-progress - before the whole thing descends into a big night of Karaoke 🪩 FISHLET by @hotterproject When you’re gaslit by the state, ghosted by corporations, and still swimming in literal shit - what do you do? Hotter Project are back with a sewage revenge tragedy, loosely based on Hamlet. Sometimes there are only three options in life: seek vengeance; go mad; or put on a play. We’ve gone for option C. John Travulva Finds His Dad (but only to get an Irish Passport) [WIP] by @jodiemitchetc Award-winning Drag King John Travulva misses having human rights and wants an emergency escape from the bin-fire of modern Britain. He’s off to find his biological father - but ONLY to get an Irish passport. Slut Squared by @temi.wilkey Join Temi on a silly & surrealist journey through all the trials and tribulations of looking for love when you’re a chronically single bisexual. A slut squared. Dragprov: Two Queers Make Up A Musical by @dragprov @forristalclarke @edscrivens This dazzling drag king and queen double act will whip up songs, sketches, raps, and an entire musical, all made up on the spot — just for you. Think golden age glamour meets corset-splitting chaos. 50 Ways To Kill a Slug by @joananastari @drespisto In a pristinely manicured garden, amidst the bucolic borders, lurk two shameful pests... this is a multi-sensory celebration of slugs as the anarchic icon we’ve been waiting for: soft, unruly and disgusting. 📸 @kaleidoshoots , @lambdog1066 costume + @malena.arcucci set And finallyyyy, there is one more very special guest we cannot announce, who leaves you with this: "A Woman circles a hole” What is it to acknowledge your life as a myth?

SHOULD YOU DATE YOUR MATES? A listener writes in to ask advice for dating their best friend. Ell digs out an old email from Mary immediately post their break up back in 2017, and Ell & Mary ask a bunch of their friends: is it ever a good idea to date your mates?  Listen to the new episode of Life of Bi on all podcast platforms #LifeofBi #bisexual #bi #hotter #hotterproject #podcast #dateyourmates #date #fyp #queer #gay #pridemonth #bivisibility

We bring gifts to you this Happy Bank Holiday Monday - two new Life of Bi episodes are here to smother your ears with … & here are some photos of what community look like :) Ep 44: queering the Quran Mary and Ell interview Lamya H, a queer muslim parent, and author of the memoir Hijab Butch Blues. Tune in for a conversation around Islamophobia, queer parenting and faith in justice. Ep 45: ‘common sense’ Since the Supreme Court’s ruling on the definition of ‘woman’ in the Equality Act, gender-critical groups have been celebrating their victory - often claiming that ‘common sense’ has prevailed. But what do they actually mean? Mary uses Andrea Long Chu’s radical work ‘Females’ to try to dig into what trans-exclusionary radical feminists feel they are ‘losing’ to trans people; while Ell explores studies that find overlap, commonality and solidarity between bi+ and trans communities. Links to Trans Legal Fund and Good Law Project can be found in our bio.

Spring has sprung in the most spectacular way & we’ve been so busy soaking up its rare juices we nearly forgot to post about our latest Life of Bi episodes! Ep 42: bisexuality under capitalism with Sophie K Rosa Buckle up fellas! And ready yourselves for an excursive exploration of how bisexuality operates under capitalism. We’ve long been fans of Sophie K Rosa’s radical writings on modern love, intimacy, and relational structures, and were thrilled to find that they are a fellow bisexual — and listen to LOB. In this episode we wonder: are bisexuals too slippery to market to? what does capitalism stand to gain from ignoring fluidity? and — does bisexuality suffer from… a branding issue?! Ep 43: agony ankle #2 - fashion advice for Perturbed in Peckham in our second edition of agony ankle, Ell & Mary respond to a listener who doesn’t know what to wear to The Cloob… 🪩 please enjoy both of these delicious episodes with a dose of sunshine and a cold drink 🌞 #lifeofbi #bisexualpodcast #sophiekrosa #radicalintimacy #agonyankle #hotterproject #whattowear #fashion #spring #lgbtqpodcast #queer #bi #bisexual #fluidity #radicalintimacy #cat
