FUNNY GAYS! with Laura Kay, author of The Split WIT LIT: the funny books podcast

‘Queer people are simply the funniest people’

To end Pride Month with an amusing bang, and to assure everyone that you ARE allowed to still read gay books even if it’s not June, I’m happily joined by Laura Kay, author of THE SPLIT. She recommends her top five funny gay books, we talk about her own writing process and comedy inspirations, and yes, we talk about her cats. Listen in or you’re a homophobe xo

Laura recommends:


ONE LAST STOP - Casey McQuiston
IN AT THE DEEP END - Kate Davies
LESS - Andrew Sean Greer
PLAIN BAD HEROINES - Emily M. Danforth
FUN HOME - Alison Bechdel

Lily adds:


DIARY OF A DRAG QUEEN - Crystal Rasmussen
LOVE LETTERS of Virginia Woolf and Vita Sackville-West
(And we both go on about Louise Rennison, an honorary gay.)



May I recommend ordering your books from the excellent Gay’s the Word?
