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?

Bethany 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.

A 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.
