Yes, I've played and enjoyed Dame parts on stage, sometimes with a moustache, sometimes with a beard and nearly always wearing pit boots. Yes, I'm an old fashioned straight and no one's going to make me ashamed of that although that seems to be the aim of some folk.
Traditional pantomimes require explanation to a lot of kids "That's a man dressed up as a woman for the purpose of making us laugh, Jimmy" But this bloke lives his actual life in that fantasy. I wouldn't know how to explain him to kids. His affected voice grates on me for the short time he appears on my tv. I fail to see how anyone can take him seriously.
