Queer Folks’ Tales, our very queer, funny and moving LGBTQ+ storytelling show, finally comes to Glasgow following two years of sell out shows in Edinburgh. Hosted by Edinburgh’s Turan Ali (producer of BBC drama/comedy), who is joined on Monday June 10th by local queer Glasgow talent, featuring storytelling stand-ups Kate Hammer and Colin Higgins, plus acclaimed singer-songwriter Josie Duncan.
LINE-UP DETAILS
Turan Ali has been producing, directing and writing BBC Radio dramas and comedies for over 20 years. He’s also a stage storyteller and stand up of very queer comedy with regular sell-out comedy and storytelling shows in Edinburgh, Vienna and Istanbul. His latest one man stand-up show, Horny Old Poof, tours internationally from May 2024.
Kate Hammer (originally from Canada) was forged in the comedy, writing, and performance scenes, now living it up in Glasgow. They have performed internationally as an improviser, stand-up, sketch comedian, and actor. The neuro-divergent, anaemic, gluten-intolerant, queer writer and comedian of your wildest, well-edited dreams and a fantabulous storyteller.

She has performed at so many festivals, lIke Celtic Colours (Canada), National Celtic Festival Australia, Tönder (Denmark), Hebridean Celtic Festival, Sidmouth Festival, plus with Scottish folk music community Bogha-frois : Queer Voices in Folk.
Colin Higgins is a rising star from the Glasgow comedy scene and has performed UK wide. He delights audiences with his cutting observations, brutal honesty and self-deprecating style. TV credits include the Billy Connolly docuseries 'Billy and Us' BBC Scotland. He has movingly performed his hilarious and vulnerable stories in Queer Folks’ Tales in Edinburgh.
