We were in Leeds a day early for Leeds First Friday weekend. We went to see a comedy night at Leeds Library on the Thursday night.
First we had tea at Pieminister and unexpectedly there was a power cut while we were there. This meant the tills stopped working and so we got our meal for free! :-)
The comedy night was hosted by the very funny Chris Lumb of Shoe Cake Comedy, we had 3 great stand-ups to see - Brennan Reece, Seeta Wrilghtson and Ben Norris, all of them hilarious!
Gemma and I did a very brave thing, and quite deliberately. We sat right at the front where comedians will often pick people out! Although I suspect it's more difficult ground for a comedian to pick on a trans girl. And as it turned out, none of the comedians did pick on us, though they did pick on plenty of others in the audience, ha ha! It was a good test of our self-confidence doing that, and I really enjoyed the whole experience.
Afterwards we went for a drink in Queens Court before heading back to the hotel.
Leeds Library comedy night! You can see how close to the front we were!

It is not a tale of the body, the pleasure, and the delight, but a theatre study of Power. The monotonous and systematic chain of cruelty and violence that a man and a woman deal to each other is meant to illustrate the principle of supremacy over another human. Violence is the essence of power. In this play, Wiktor Rubin changes the foundations of his directing style, leaving the collages of alterations and formulas aside. He provokes a performance that should disrupt the spectators’ sense of security, and test the mechanisms of linguistic, carnal, and situational enthrallment. We do not understand what Power is until we are wronged, until we have realised how hurt we have been. Thus, every action of the two actors within the space of the play must be aimed not only against each other but also against the spectators. The reactions of the onlookers are filmed and shown on screens; actors take away women’s handbags and comment upon their contents; they search the men, and lock some in boxes on stage, forcing them into mock sexual intercourses. Eroticism becomes lined with fear, intimacy is exposed to the public eye. The Gdańsk staging evokes powerful emotions in an experiment that may be rejected, yet in which one may also get lost.

When I think about toilet seats I get nauseous, especially public ones. Just the thought of sitting where everyone else has sat is disgusting to me. Restrooms in general gross me out–the sink, the door knob, everything. I went to a small private school in high school and the only restroom the boys had was this really small, dark hole in the hall and the only reason anyone would ever use it was because they had to. It was lit by the light of a 40 watt bulb and for some reason it always smelled like Pine Sol and mothballs–it was weird. Anyway, I didn’t really have any friends in high school, so many times during the day I would just go in there and hang out for long periods of time waiting until the school day was over. One time one of the guys in my class got suspicious and pointed out that I was spending an awful lot of time in the bathroom, but I just pretended like I wasn’t feeling well and he let it go. After school every day I’d usually just go home and watch something on TV until bedtime. A couple of years later I graduated, went to college and that pretty much brings us all up to speed I think.

THE WRONG DOOR
Picture shows: Myanna Buring as Melanie out for dinner with her new boyfriend, Philip The Dinosaur.
The Wrong Door is set in a parallel universe; a fantastic world governed by the laws of comedy where the special effects you see in the movies are part of everyday life. Sounds like our kinda world...

Okay, quick 411: Bob (older man on left) was picked out by Kirk, the entertainment director (on right) to come up on stage whenever "California" was mentioned. He would introduce himself and said that he loved his wife and the audience replied back, "Prove it!" At this point he'd sing a little song to her.
Diane Ford, a professional comedienne, didn't know about this and was totally baffled and taken off-guard by Bob coming up on stage, taking her microphone, and going thru his routine. It was a total scream to watch.
