Life as a disabled transgender comedian is- well, good for a laugh at least, so-
Pull up a chair and take a seat for this stand-up show about sitting down!
Part comedy set and part ethically dubious experiment, watch as Arthur races against the clock, competes with gravity, barrels through pain, and nurtures a love-hate situationship with- well, you.
On a journey through one upmanship, stand upmanship, and absolutely nothing to do with penmanship, Arthur helpfully details it all, the awkward, the embarrassing, and the baffling – How often can you answer every question with ‘shark attack’ before people get suspicious? How do you navigate a custody battle for a wheelchair? And how do you choose a public bathroom if they’re all applicable?
Together, accumulate points, penalties, or prizes, and participate in a potential downfall, as the decision looms-
Sit Down, or Stand Up?
(Well, lets put it to a vote, shall we?)
Fun, flashy, and full of adrenaline, Stand Up (Comedy) asks questions of disability, endurance, pity, power, pain, and pride, but most of all-
What will you choose?
The vote must be unanimous.
