Trigger Warning: This episode contains detailed conversation about loss and grief which some listeners might find uncomfortable. Listener discretion is advised.

She's a comedian, actress, writer and singer that you might recognise from being funny on TV (and social media) - Jayde Adams is here! Fun Fact: In 2015, Jayde performed as an Adele impersonator in London's drag scene AND she starred in the adaptation of Good Omens... so she is, in many ways, the personification of The Final FronTia (other than Tia, of course).

On this week's episode of The Final FronTia, Tia and Jayde talk about discovering drag, they take a nostalgic dive into "Three Men And A Little Lady" and they reflect on fandoms.

The podcast then takes a turn to focus on the challenges of fame, navigating grief and the potential of comedy as therapy. Jayde and Tia each share their personal stories and experiences with loss and maintaining authenticity in the public eye.
