Episode 52 - Panto live with Lisle Des Landes

A beginner's guide to a forty something gay man.

One of my first episodes coming from deepest, darkest Panto land. There will be a few eps coming out as and when I can get them to you. This week I'm chatting to the Lisle, who is playing 'Buttons' along side me in Cinderella, down in Portsmouth. He's a charming chap, with a great sense of humour and lots of talent. We have an honest and open chat about his coming out and his formative years in Liverpool - which he still calls home. We touch on his school years and how Lisle came out the other side a stronger and more confident gent. We talk about what switched him on to performing and his inspirations, his love of drag and his pop cultural icons - including his massive love of the Spice Girls and what they meant to him as a kid. We also dig deep into some grittier subjects but ultimately this is podcast that will brighten a dark winters day. Enjoy Part 1 of my Christmas/Panto specials!
