This week Mark and Louie caught up with cabaret maker and binary breaker Melody Sproates about their work not just on-stage but also off stage and how they have been working out how to live and work in our current situation. Featuring chats about their show *gender not included, lip-syncing, Tiger King and more, it's totally entertaining, totally honest and full of brilliance.
The interview was recorded on 7 April 2020 in various houses across Newcastle upon Tyne and South Shields via online chat.
