I am Mark Bunyan

Mark Bunyan

I did my first professional gig as an outgay cabaret performer in 1978. In 1982 I wrote the musical JUST GOOD FRIENDS which played to packed houses at the Cockpit Theatre. Later came other musicals with various degrees of success.

My stage play, DINNER, won the international playwriting competition at the Warehouse Theatre Croydon where it was successfully produced in 1989. In 1983 I co-founded, with the late Brian Kennedy, the Pink Singers, which is now the oldest LGBT+ Choir in Europe.

There is a short documentary about me, MARK BUNYAN, VERY NEARLY ALMOST FAMOUS. It was a selection for the San Francisco International Gay Film Festival in 2013.

On a personal note, I was recently the oldest competitor in the British Gymnastics Association’s Veterans competition, winning a bronze medal in the over-40s for the trampolining category for the British Gymnastics Association. 

I live with Andrew, my partner of 50 years.
