Talk shows usually bring to mind white guys making stale jokes into the camera or roundtables of straight women giving milquetoast takes on mainstream pop culture and politics. But breathing new life into the genre is wonderfully rowdy, lesbionic comedian and podcaster Clara Pluton, who hosts their queer talk show Cruising with Clara every last Saturday at Timbre Room. Joined by comedian cohost Max Delsohn, Pluton does stand-up, dissects the news, interviews local guests, and celebrates queer life and culture here in the city. This edition will be livestreamed on PLuton's YouTube channel. by Jas Keimig
