Explaining Being Pan to Nan

This no-holes-barred stand up-comedy/poetry show unpacks explaining your queer identity (non-binary, pansexual) to your 86-year-old Nan. Expect sexting in your 80’s, knitting kinks, and discovering Grandad’s predilections. Wildly explicit, yet unexpectedly tender, this solo show explores the differences and understanding between the generations.

Better known for their work as a writer & director (Sherlock Holmes and the Poison Wood (Watermill), Little Prince (Taunton Brewhouse), and In the Willows (Exeter Northcott & UK tour), Ledbury Poetry Slam Winner P Burton-Morgan returns to the stage once more. Funny, sexy and queer – bring your Nan (but maybe warn her first.)

Since 2005, P Burton-Morgan has been Founder and Artistic Director of Metta Theatre, for which they have written and directed over 30 productions. As a poet they have been published in Propel Magazine, anthologized by Arachne Press, The Chimes, and they’ve performed at Primadonna Festival, Hot Flush, Hook Up Culture, Diversion, Dirty Laundry, and Ledbury Poetry Festival where they won the 2024 Ledbury Poetry Slam.
