Amrou Al-Kadhi (born 23 June 1990) is a British-Iraqi writer, actor, drag performer, and filmmaker whose work primarily focuses on queer identity, cultural representation and racial politics.

[4] In 2006, Al-Kadhi was awarded a two-year scholarship to Eton College, where they did their A-levels,[1][5] then graduated from the University of Cambridge with a BA and MPhil in the History of Art.

[8] More recently, they have left the troupe in order to concentrate on solo performance in a show called Glamrou: From Quran to Queen.

Al-Kadhi's autobiography, Life as a Unicorn: A Journey From Shame to Pride and Everything In Between, was published in 2019 and tells the story of their estrangement from and final reconciliation with their mother and Islam.

[15] Al-Kadhi writes on topics ranging from queer identity and Islamophobia to the philosophy of marine biology and film criticism.

In their memoir, Al-Kadhi describes how, at the age of thirteen, they developed a close identification with fish, which they call "warrior shape-shifters" in colourful clothing.

[18] After a particularly vivid dream, Al-Kadhi tried to capture the attention of a pair of clownfish, "but they were swimming along happily together – just another couple who had found love – and suddenly the tank made me feel lonelier than ever".

[24] In June 2020, in honour of the 50th anniversary of the first LGBTQ Pride parade, Queerty named Al-Kadhi among the fifty heroes "leading the nation toward equality, acceptance, and dignity for all people".
