Glasgay! LGBT Scotland’s largest celebration of queer arts is back for another year, with the kind of stupendous line-up we’ve come to expect. Highlights include the premiere of the wonderful Liz Lochhead’s Scots Makar-fest Edwin Morgan’s Dreams, and Other Nightmares; Grant Smeaton’s newest work Ch Ch Changes; cabaret entertainment from Bourgeois and Maurice; feisty US comedian Margaret Cho following up her run at the Fringe last month with solo show Cho Dependant; and a performance from the luminous drag/cabaret artiste Johnny Woo (pictured). Impressed? We are. See Glasgay! overview, page 19; Bourgeois and Maurice feature, page 20; Liz Lochhead feature, page 24; Margaret Cho preview, page 38; and comic workshop preview, page 74.
