Bethany Black is an idiot. She had two years where her life exploded; she got dumped by her fiancée and then things really went downhill; death, illness and a fractured leg followed. Broken and on the verge of giving up, something extraordinary happened. She got cast in a starring role in Russell T Davies' TV series Cucumber Banana Tofu, becoming the first trans person to star as a transgender character in the UK, and first on US broadcast television. Suddenly she's making history, entirely by accident. But what happens when this happens and you're an idiot?

Sophie Bridger, Stonewall, 5th August 2016Bethany Black: Edinburgh Fringe 2016 interview
Bethany Black had it tough in recent years, getting dumped by her fiancée followed by illness and a fractured leg. Then her life turned around with a starring role in Russell T Davies' TV series Cucumber Banana Tofu, becoming the first trans person to star as a transgender character in the UK, as well as appearing in Dr Who! She calls herself an "idiot" in her blurb, but this should be a smart, powerful hour of stand-up.
Laugh Out London, 5th August 2016A day in the life of Bethany Black
Currently I get up at 8, or at least I am woken up then when the guys who are doing building work next door start hammering and drilling into the adjoining wall to my house. After a bit of a swear and an internal conversation about how if I go round and murder them all with a hammer, I'd at least be able to get some sleep before the police arrived, I give up on getting back to sleep as a bad job and get out of bed.
