Owain Wyn Evans to share Polari crash course ahead of BBC Radio Manchester Pride show

Graham Robson August 28, 2020

Owain Wyn Evans, the drumming weatherman and BBC North West Tonight presenter, is set to share a crash course in Polari with his followers on social media ahead of his special Manchester Pride show on BBC Radio Manchester on Saturday, August 29 from 2pm.

The social clip was filmed after Owain explored the secret language on The One Show earlier this week, and is set to be shared on his Twitter tomorrow morning.

Owain’s special show will feature a host of LGBTQ+ guests such as Dr Who writer Russell T Davies, and Drag Race UK‘s Divina de Campo, as well as a bespoke Pride playlist as picked by Owain himself.

Covid-19 demanded the cancellation of Manchester Pride 2020 earlier in the year and Owain’s show hopes to allow people to celebrate one of Manchester’s biggest annual events from the safety of their own homes.

The show is set to broadcast on BBC Radio Manchester and BBC Sounds from 2pm on Saturday, August 29.
