Leila Navabi is a comedian, screenwriter, producer and actor from South Wales.
She has written across many comedy titles for various UK broadcasters. She created the Radio 4 special 'BAMESHOW' which was received with great critical acclaim. It was dubbed 'mould-breaking, evidently sharp satire' by The Guardian. In 2021, she was asked to represent Wales in writing a drama for the Radio 4 anthology series 'United Kingdoms'.
Leila most recently co-wrote the six-part BBC iPlayer series 'Vandullz', in which she also stars.
Ren Simon's is a drag artist, more commonly known by their stage name Justin Drag.
Justin is a drag king born and bread in Wales. He's the hype man for any show and a versatile performer. Justin uses his drag to platform the trans, non binary and genderfluid community with the event Transition at The Queer Emporium.
He regularly gigs around the UK and opens for major drag acts such as Victoria Scone and Jimbo.
Yan White is The Queer Fringe Festival and The Queer Emporium's director. Originally from Bristol they have made Cardiff their home.
Often found perfecting an oat latte, making a new badge or running around teching events, he comes from a visual arts background before starting The Queer Emporium in 2021. Chaotic at heart, he is always looking for the next opportunity to do what isn't being done anywhere else and spreading queer joy.
