Adult content. John Pendal became the 25th International Mr Leather in 2003, the only Briton ever to have won the title, and the following year became a regular host of the Mr Chicago Leather contest. In 2010 he began a decade-long career as a comedian traveling to clubs in cities across the United States and Europe.  The pandemic brought his roles as leather contest host and comedian to a screeching halt. A self described outsider with autism, John recognized the opportunity to pursue a new career, as a life coach. He earned a diploma from the Animas Centre for Coaching and completed a course in First Aid for Mental Health. Since the interview for this podcast episode, John has been asked to return to host the 2022 Mr Chicago Leather contest.
