About this show

LGBTQIA+ Fringe performers read their REAL teenage diaries, angsty poetry, thirsty fanfic and terrible tumblr posts. A different line-up of queer performers every night, sharing hilariously cringe-but-true tales from their coming-of-age era. 'Often funny... always entertaining' * (TheReviewsHub.com). 'If Queer Diary was held on the moon, the most anti-capitalist queers would be befriending Bezos in hopes of a rocket ride' (DIVA Magazine). Hosted by Beth Watson: 'An incredibly funny, charismatic performer, who absolutely embraces the silliness' (Instagram.com/West.End.With.Me), 'Joyful comedy throughout' (ToDoList.Org.uk). 'The verbatim diary entries... are admittedly shocking – and hilarious' * (AYoungishPerspective.co.uk).
