The super-likeable Alex Franklin explains her "trans girl" journey in this fast-paced joke-packed hour.
In 2024, trans girl Alex (me) started HRT. Now she (me) feels the most alive she's (me's) ever felt; and she wants to make you feel alive too, or die trying. A ludicrous, musical, chaotic, joyful show about the colours of the world becoming slowly brighter and giving people furniture via the tube. Also being trans. As seen / heard on Channel 4 / HBO Max / BBC Radio 4. 'Undeniably ludicrous comedy gold' **** (Entertainment-Now.com). 'Eclectic, risk-taking and inventive' (Scotsman). 'Winningly weird... this young comic is on the way up' (Telegraph). Directed by Dom Stephens.
