In this episode, Alex opens up about his journey growing up as a Greek Cypriot lad from North London, navigating queerness, comedy, drag, and autism.

He shares how his alter-ego “Soulla” was inspired by his mum and supported by his grandma, the struggles and acceptance he’s faced within his Cypriot community, and the powerful messages audiences have taken away from his shows.

Alex also reflects on harassment and online hate, what it means to come out later in life, and how his family eventually showed their support through theatre and comedy.

The conversation dives deep into culture, religion, masculinity, and the pressures of being queer in Mediterranean families, before exploring Alex’s autism diagnosis, sensory experiences, and how he’s learned to embrace his unique strengths.
