Julian Clary talks camp, comedy and living through the Aids crisis

In episode six, editor-in-chief Matt Cain chats to comedian and author Julian Clary. Julian discusses the homophobic bullying he experienced as a child and how he played up his campness in his early performances as a form of fighting back. He also explains how he avoided becoming infected with HIV in the 1980s and how he coped with the death of his partner from an Aids-related illness. Julian’s interview is both moving and fascinating.
