Academy Award-winning film producer Iain Canning, co-founder of production company See-Saw Films, has produced movies and television shows such as The Kings Speech, Lion, Shame and Netflix's Heartstopper. He describes receiving his Oscar from Steven Spielberg at age 31, as a total out of body experience, and potentially one of the gayest moments of his life. More so by the Oscar's organisers asking them to regroup on stage and sing a rendition of Judy Garland's 'Over The Rainbow'. Iain is a champion of diverse story-telling and thinks we best focus our energy on seeing gay actors in straight roles, rather than the other way round.

Tag Warner, a Forbes 30 under 30 honouree, is a proven game changer in the industry. After becoming CEO of GAY TIMES at the age of 24, Tag has overseen some impressive changes within the company and overcome some ‘healthy scepticism' at the start of his tenure.

A self-described introvert, Tag's diary is usually flooded with meetings, travelling, press events and so on, which Tag admits keeps him in a steady state of 'performance mode'.

James Barr's weekly schedule definitely justifies his occasional need for an afternoon nap. Kicking off the morning on Hits Radio Breakfast, to late evening stand-up gigs, it's impressive he has the stamina for writing, podcasting, the occasional appearance on Piers Morgan, and (in his words) 'sleeping around'. James is currently working on a new show, where he candidly opens up about his experience with domestic abuse. A shocking and important commentary on a sadly all to common experience, particularly in LGBTQ+ relationships, James invites us to find the funny, as he aims to open discussion and heal through laughter. James is no stranger to hate online and discusses how he 'sometimes finds it scary to leave the house'. But it's clear it won't stop him from taking a seat at the table, and ultimately, the hate comments prove to be comedy gold.
