Singer-songwriter-rapper-comedian Jonny McGovern has a hard time taking Batman seriously.

“It’s his silly voice,” says McGovern, aka “Gay Pimp Daddy,” who rose to fame for such funny and provocative dance hits as “Dickmatizedand “Sexy Nerd.”

In the video bit above, McGovern explains why Batman needs to lighten up and have a kiki.

In this video interview, McGovern talks about his career as a gay rapper and his favourite places to party in Montreal.

On a new career adventure, I perform as a Stage Hypnotist (clubs, fundraisers, private shows, etc; www.BrandonTheHypnotist.com), as well as maintain a private practice in downtown Toronto as a Certified Consulting Hypnotist and Hypnotherapist (in short, I use hypnosis to help people overcome everyday problems.) Between August 1993 and January 2016, I worked with Pink Triangle Press (publisher of this website) as Publisher & Editor-in-chief and Director of Publishing. I joined PTP in August 1993 to establish the Ottawa operation and launch (then called) Capital Xtra, later rebranded to Xtra Ottawa. During my 22.5 year tenure with PTP, I lived and worked in Ottawa, Vancouver, and since 2001, Toronto. At some point, I served as Publisher & Editor-in-chief of every print product PTP published.
