Call Me Limbo
Call Me Limbo is your weekly dose of comedic therapy where pop culture and politics get tossed in a blender with personal stories, improv games, and zero chill. Hosted by Dai and David—two queer best friends with more opinions than filter—the show tackles everything from reality TV and music videos to capitalist hellscapes and Bad Bunny’s underwear.
It’s entertainment with a little revolution on the side.
Sometimes you’ll laugh until you cry. Sometimes you’ll cry until you’re organizing a union. Either way, we’re here for the drama, the joy, and the work of building a better world—with jokes. Always with jokes.
We believe the personal is political, but also… pop culture is too damn fun to ignore. So whether you’re here for the Disney Channel wand impressions or a fiery takedown of billionaires—welcome. You’ve found your people.

Call Me Poetry as Protest: Naked, Fired, and Unapologetic (with Tavish)
This week, Dai and David are joined by Tavish —a queer spirit, human, artist, and educator with Celtic roots. Tavish practices theatre for social change, runs Bird City Improv, and brings decades of experience directing new work, crafting poetry, and co-creating ensemble-driven performance.
In March 2025, Tavish went viral after staging a peaceful protest at the Kennedy Center that involved a naked poetry performance denouncing authoritarianism and political violence. The fallout was swift: they were fired from both the Kennedy Center and Johns Hopkins University. But Tavish remains unapologetic—continuing their liberation-focused work through grassroots art and radical truth-telling.
This conversation is raw, inspiring, and deeply human—exploring art as activism, queerness as resistance, and what it means to speak your truth, even when it costs you everything.
