Look who's calling!

It's Ginger Johnson...

That’s right! This week, Patti’s chatting to award (and Drag Race) winning artist, writer, performer, and fellow redhead Ginger Johnson. Ginger discusses how she came to leave the North East through an unusual act of theft, what it's like coming back to a changed drag scene and working with Royal Northern Sinfonia.
You’ll hear about the time she made a show’s worth of costumes in ten days, what it's like to be blown (out of a cannon) and the time she fell from the rafters into the waiting arms of the Oxford University rowing team. Topics also include Lucille Ball, Lypsinka, David Hoyle and cats!
The pair also ask today's biggest questions: Can Nicole Kidman act? Can you get a good parmo in Newcastle? And most importantly... What is it about redheads?? 

Special thanks to Michael Marouli for calling in!
