Utter Nunsense is a chat show with a difference! Hosted by drag nuns Sister Alaska Lott and Sister Babeushka from the Order of Perpetual Indulgence, this show covers all things LGBTQ+ with plenty of laughs, glitter, and side tracks into hilarious nunsense.

So pour yourself a cup of tea, put up your feet, and prepare to listen to some Utter Nunsense!

A new episode will be released every month at the start of the month as both a Youtube video and as a podcast, so you can pick the best way for you to engage with Utter Nunsense. Each month we will discuss a certain topic that has been on our mind, which can range from topics that affect the wider community as well as certain topics close to us as Sisters of the Order of Perpetual indulgence. This allows us to give a variety of things for you to watch, so if you want to know more about the Order of Perpetual Indulgence you can, otherwise you can just binge episodes reacting to memes or talking through things we have witnessed in the queer community.

Some of the topics that have been covered include:

  • Gatekeeping within the queer community

  • Looking at memes about oddly gendered products

  • Incredible people from the LGBTQ+ community who mad history

  • Going over just how we look so fabulous with our makeup

  • ..and trust us, there is so much more we have on the list of episodes!

    006: Names & Pronouns

    This month our intrepid nuns are delving headfirst into a rather hot topic...chosen names and pronouns. It's something that our trans and nonbinary friends will be all too familiar with, and something that others are all too keen to ignore.


    Drawing from our personal experiences as "nun-binary" members of the LGBTQ+, we set out to explain why using people's correct names and pronouns matters and why the 'I don't have pronouns' crowd are just plain wrong!

    Or that was the plan, at least. Instead it somehow ends in fits of giggles, nuns pretending to be snakes, and several hilarious verbal slip ups. Welcome to Utter Nunsense!

    Expect tangents to include forays into embarrassing moments in the pub, merging minds with your bestie, and a complete inability to say the name of our own show. Lets be honest, did you expect anything less?
