I have been a Leigh Bowery admirer ever since he terrified me at various London night clubs in the 80's. In the 90's his band Minty provided me with some of the most upsetting, distressing and amusing nights out. Then he died and became an icon. Now he is a West End theatre experience (and a bloody good one too). Last year I went to see a little home-made movie called 'The Legend of Leigh Bowery' at the ICA. It was a hilarious tribute that Leigh would surely have approved of. This week BBC Four are showing the movie three times starting on Tuesday at 10pm. If you have cable or satellite telly then I reccommend it.
This video clip of Leigh made by The Clothes Show in the early 90's is too good to be missed. You'll piss yourselves laughing.
