Me, Myself and Mother! with Amrou Al-Kadhi

🎙️ Welcome to this episode of Slay The Day – the Podcast! I’m WellWellMiguel, and today we’re diving into a world of drag, theatre, film, and fearless queer storytelling with an extraordinary guest — Amrou Al-Kadhi. You’ll know Amrou as an award-winning writer, performer, and filmmaker, and of course for their dazzling drag persona Glamrou. From starring in American Horror Stories to writing the acclaimed memoir Life as a Unicorn, and directing their debut feature Layla, which premiered at Sundance 2024, Amrou’s work has been a masterclass in visibility, vulnerability, and vision. Now, they’re bringing their explosive solo show GLAMROU: DRAG MOTHER to EartH Hackney on 18 October 2025 — a glitter-drenched fever dream where Glamrou faces their fiercest rival yet: their own Muslim mother. It’s a celebration of Arab identity, queerness, and self-expression — unfiltered, political, and gloriously alive. We’ll be talking about drag as survival and self-love, about Arab queer representation in film and theatre, and about how Amrou turns faith, trauma, and family into radiant, radical art. And of course — stick around for The Gay Agenda, where we’ll explore stories that echo Amrou’s journey: the bold, the spiritual, and the beautifully complicated world of queer identity.
