People have threatened to shoot Jordan Gray at her shows – but she’s as brazen as ever ...Middle East

Ironically, both were caused by the same thing. In the autumn of 2022, Gray appeared on Channel 4’s Friday Night Live, where she performed the closing number from her Fringe show, Is It a Bird? the climax of which saw Gray stripping fully naked.

The answer, it turns out, is by tapping into her more emotional side. Make no mistake; Gray’s lurching, long-limbed energy remains unchanged, and the visual gags still come fast. But underneath lies a far more sombre subject. Gray isn’t just performing knowing that people have threatened to shoot her at her shows (an action she playfully refers to as “doing a murder with a gun” throughout the show), but at a time when her own rights as a trans woman are specifically under attack following the UK Supreme Court ruling last month.

Make no mistake – Gray is still able to get gags out when she talks about the plights of herself and her community. “We’re depressed, we’re anxious, we’re busting for a piss!” she riffs of the recent bathroom bans. Yet there are moments of stillness in this show that her last one lacked, where the audience is able to truly sit in and appreciate both Gray’s chameleon musical abilities and her quick comedic wit.

The  show does lag slightly in the middle, but Gray pulls it back with a visual callback so silly and unexpected I could have stood up and applauded for it alone. 

This  show might not have the shock value of her last one, but it shows a more mature side to Gray. To quote the comic herself, she’s not just a “one-d**k pony”, and this show happily proves it.
