Jodie Mitchell

Come As You Are with Helen Duff

Jodie Mitchell is a comedian, podcaster and drag king, performing as John Travulva with Pecs Drag Kings, founding member of the omni-hilarious queer comedy collective LOL Word Comedy, and one half of the podcast Secret Dinosaur Cult with Sofie Hagen.

In this episode, we talk masc shame, internalised butchphobia, homophobia, fatphobia and - on the flip side - consensual, joyful, egalitarian sex. In this quietly-captivating exploration of identity, role play and self expression, Jodie reveals how performing as a drag king to a fanbase of "incredible screaming queers who crave the non-cis-male dick" helped them to take up space, celebrate their masculinity, and fully embrace their sexuality.

They are currently busy being a ‘blindingly obvious comedic talent’ (The Skinny) on the following platforms:
