Smoggie Queens

Smoggie queens is sharply written with a lot of heart. It's good, fun, silly humour and the kind of joyful sitcom we have been missing for sometime now.

The 5 main characters are all delightfully unique and work well as group ensemble and the last episode absolutely made me so emotional after spending time with this chosen family. It's proper old school camp and I love it. Doesn't hide away from the queer themes and celebrates it, while not alienating non-queer audiences and bringing them in for the laughs.

I had a brilliant time with this show and am desperate for more. It was so nice to be able to sit back and just allow myself to laugh and have fun with an episode of television. Highly recommend Smoggie Queens!!!

As a local, I had initial reservations about this show, particularly given that past productions set in the area haven't always captured the essence of Middlesbrough. However, from the very first five minutes, this show had me hooked. It's genuinely laugh-out-loud funny and truly captures the spirit of Middlesbrough in a way that feels authentic and unique. The writing is sharp, and it's clear that a great deal of time and effort has gone into its production. What's particularly refreshing is its representation of the LGBTQ+ community, blending humor with inclusivity in a way that's both impactful and entertaining. As a proud Smoggie, I'm thrilled to see such a standout show. Congratulations to everyone involved in bringing it to life.

Finally, a queer show that gets it right! Smoggie Queens is a breath of fresh air in a world where so many shows either over sanitise queer lives or drown them in misery. This series strikes the perfect balance - raw and honest, but absolutely packed with laugh-out-loud moments that'll leave you in stitches.

The comedy feels so real because it's grounded in truth and it never feels forced. These characters aren't caricatures; they're people you've met, partied with, or maybe even ghosted. It's messy, it's chaotic, and it's so relatable.

What sets Smoggie Queens apart is that it celebrates the highs and lows of queer life without shying away from the harder stuff. But instead of turning it into a sobfest, it uses humor to shed light on the absurdity of it all. And somehow, through all the jokes, it manages to hit you right in the feels when you least expect it.

If you want a queer show that's both honest and absolutely hilarious, Smoggie Queens is it. It's comedy with heart, and honestly? We need more of it.

Laugh-out-loud funny throughout. A contemporary take on life in a post-industrial northern town that will make you laugh 'til you cry, then cry 'til you laugh again. Charming, witty, ridiculous and heartwarming in equal measure. Whether you wear a dress at the weekend or a pair of overalls, there is something here for you. Both celebratory of our proud LGBTQ+ community and of the wider idiosyncrasies of Middlesbrough life; this show is a charming love letter to a much derided part of our country and the resilience, humour and creativity of the people who reside there.

Well written, acted and delivered. Season 2 please!!!

If only there was more!!! This show had me and the missus laughing our heads off from start to finish. Heartfelt and witty and portrays Middlesbrough perfectly. Each character is loveable and hysterical in their own ways making you want to be in this tight group of best friends. The writing is superb with many one-liners that I will continue to use. The highs and lows of life are honest and relatable making you appreciate each character individually. I hope I hope I hope there will be another series. I may be a Geordie but us northerners will always unite to support each other. I highly highly recommend this show.
