    Lawrence Chaney on Standing Up For Yourself & Putting Your Home On The Map

    Lawrence Chaney brings bold comedy, unapologetic confidence and razor-sharp wit to the stage - whether in their crown winning performing in RuPaul's Drag Race UK (when they became the first Scottish queen to win the franchise), or in their activism. Lawrence has become one of the UK's most vocal queens, balancing political activism with hilarious pop culture commentary. Whether dissecting current events or riffing about sharks and apples, Lawrence has built a career on authenticity, humour and refusing to apologise for taking up space. On this episode of The Pieces, Bimini and Lawrence take a pitstop during their United Kingdolls tour to dive deep. From Lawrence's formative moment of fighting back with humour at school to their relationship with body image, this conversation is equal parts humanising and hilarious. They discuss the importance of standing up for yourself without resorting to violence, and why words are more powerful than fists, as well as the state of political discourse and why weirdness is something to celebrate rather than hide. Lawrence also shares advice for aspiring drag queens in Scotland, reflects on their Drag Race UK season, and reveals where they truly find their power.

    Lesley Sharp on Not Fitting In, Political Dishonesty & Challenging Stereotypes

    Lesley Sharp is one of Britain’s most respected and versatile actors. With a career spanning four decades across film, television and theatre – from her BAFTA nominated roles in The Fully Monty and Bob & Rose, to Olivier Award nominated roles in A Family Affair and Uncle Vanya – Lesley is truly one of the UK’s most impressive exports. Lesley tackles complex, groundbreaking stories with fearlessness. Her work consistently challenges stereotypes and pushes boundaries, making her a true icon of British screen and stage. She currently stars in the film Pillion as Peggy – a mother navigating her son’s entry into a BDSM relationship – playing opposite Harry Melling and Alexander Skarsgard. She’s also reprising her role in the second series of the acclaimed Red Eye. On this episode of The Pieces, Bimini and Lesley discuss the complexity of BDSM relationships (reflecting on Lesley’s role in Pillion) and why playing a morally upstanding character in Red Eye feels important in today's climate of political dishonesty. Lesley also shares the impact of adoption on her identity, why understanding human behaviour is central to her craft and her healing and how therapy at 25 became transformative. She also reflects on the unexpected global success of The Full Monty, the toxic culture of celebrity shaming in the 2000s, and why she never reads reviews of live theatre.
