Bump!

Bump! is the world’s first and most-watched gay travel show, now in its fourth season. Join our hosts, sexy gay soap star Charlie David and comedic actor, Shannon McDonough as they criss-cross the globe in search of fun and adventure in exciting locales such as Tel Aviv, Victoria Falls, Miami Beach and beyond! In an engaging and upbeat half-hour, we give audiences a snapshot of living queer life large around the world. Each episode features a travelogue of a new gay-friendly destination covering culture, entertainment, cuisine, design and more, all from a gay perspective. Hitting gay hotspots like Las Vegas, Cape Town and Mykonos, capital cities such as Zurich and London, and major gay tours like Atlantis Cruises to Egypt and Greece, Bump! takes viewers on a wild romp around the world, showcasing a fantastic slice of gay life. Bump! also delves into the always intriguing (and often risqué) social scene of each destination. From circuit parties to cafés, beaches to bathhouses, we find out where and how people connect for fun and “love”. The show’s website bumptv.com is a gay traveler’s resource, with original webisodes and video clips from the on-air episodes.

Shannon McDonough
