Coming out with Doctor Who

Here’s a condensed version of your draft under 4000 characters:

SJ Wyatt: Glitter, Bitter, and Revolution-Ready (Doctor Who Permitting)

SJ Wyatt is a bisexual, bipolar, geeky queer activist with a flair for glitter-drenched, prop-based storytelling. Known for their darkly comic monologues on the cabaret circuit, SJ combines humor, activism, and heartfelt introspection. They describe their comedic style as “glitter and bitter,” reflecting both the sparkle and sting of their lived experiences.

Rooted in activism, SJ founded Lithium Laughter, a community performance project challenging stereotypes around mental health. Featuring performers with lived experiences of mental illness, the group entertained mainstream audiences and delivered workshops in mental health units, offering humor and hope to marginalized communities.

Doctor Who and the Queen of Doom

SJ Wyatt efforts to come out as bi sexual , bipolar neuro diverse are sometimes met with disbelief or cynicism

The show reimagines these moments from SJ’s life using homemade, glittering props inspired by Doctor Who. It follows a nonbinary, bisexual, bipolar wannabe activist navigating the complexities of mental health, queer identity, and self-acceptance—all through the lens of their favorite TV show.

Reviewer Noah Payne wrote:

“I expected the show to be quirky (after all, what’s quirkier than Doctor Who?) and funny, but I didn’t expect it to be so profoundly moving.”

SJ’s comedic take on their struggles balances the absurdity of Doctor Who with the rawness of their personal journey, offering an unforgettable performance that resonates with audiences of all backgrounds.

From Glitter to Gallifrey

SJ’s unique style embraces humor as a vehicle for change. They explore themes of mental illness, prejudice, and self-acceptance with sharp wit and sparkling creativity. As Roland Saunders of TV TV remarked, “SJ Wyatt could make even a Dalek laugh.”

For SJ Wyatt, the journey to self-acceptance is as unpredictable and thrilling as the adventures of Doctor Who—complete with glitter, props, and a little help from the audience.
