Second Class Queer

Kumar Muniandy

Get ready to laugh, cry, and rethink Identity with Second Class Queer.

What happens when you throw a queer Indian Malaysian man into a live gay speed-dating event in Berlin? Second Class Queer, a solo play by Kumar Muniandy, takes audiences on a whirlwind journey through five hilariously awkward yet deeply moving five-minute encounters.

Krishna, our charming yet vulnerable protagonist, grapples with the complexities of race, sexuality, and cultural heritage. From his roots in Kuala Lumpur to the vibrant, gritty streets of Berlin, Krishna's journey unpacks grief, displacement, and the struggle to belong in a world where love and acceptance often come with caveats.

But this isn’t just another coming-out story - it’s a bold, funny, and unflinching exploration of colourism, xenophobia, and the politics of queer dating. Through razor-sharp wit and poignant storytelling, Muniandy highlights the universal challenges faced by queer people of colour, particularly those from post-colonial, conservative societies.

This play isn’t just for the queer community - it’s for anyone who’s ever felt sidelined, oppressed, or too unsafe to speak out. It’s a tribute to the diasporic community, an honest reflection on identity and belonging, and a powerful call to amplify voices that often go unheard.

Second Class Queer asks the big questions: What does it mean to truly be seen? How do we reconcile our cultural roots with our authentic selves? And can you really find love in five minutes?

Come for the laughs, stay for the heart. This is Second Class Queer, a story for anyone who’s ever felt out of place but still dared to belong.
