INTERVIEW
Have you bonded with
the guys well?
I think me and Adam have
bonded really well. But
everyone is so different – I
take the hat of being a
looney tune, I have my
moments – Gareth’s a bit of
a Jack-the-lad – Kenzie’s
very dry, but a genuine guy…
So, email. A very 2014
way to come out to the
lads of 5th Story!
Well I was out to my family
and friends, but I’ve not
done anything in the public
eye worth to even talk about
it. It was old news to me, but
this show is about your
story. It was important. I
just wanted to lay my cards
on the table.
Adam is very good at the
group email thing, coming
from his MP’s background everyone CC’d in. We were
day 4 into rehearsals and it
was just getting more
awkward and awkward. ‘Are
you seeing anyone Kav? –
Are you married’? I just
couldn’t get the words out as
ridiculous as that sounds.
Kenzie still doesn’t believe
I’m gay for whatever reason.
I could turn up singing The
Wizard Of Oz in ruby
slippers and he’d be like:
‘You’re not gay’. Adam was
like ‘I knew it, I knew it…’
and I was like ‘you can’t talk
– you’re the campest one of
the group!’ So there was a
lot of banter, but it was
fine... Every group needs a
gay don’t they!
