A white woman starts passing out and turns into a 6'4" black guy? Blackout is one of the most surreal Comedy Labs yet, based on the premise that an outwardly politically-correct North London woman starts blacking out and in turn, becomes a black man.
Comic Katherine Jakeways stars as Lucienne Porter, with Reginald D Hunter taking the role of Lucien - the man she turns into. Jo Martin (The Crouches) and comic Ben Willbond also feature in this bizarre look at the tangled fortunes of a white woman, the black man she becomes, and the black woman he's having a relationship with.
