Today, we are going to take a journey. This journey will lead us down some queer paths. There will be twists, turns, and a Willy Wonka tunnel segment, but I guarantee you that it’s worth the trip because today, we are talking to Le Aboav.
Le is a hilarious comedian I met years ago at a comedy show called CAMP at the Village Tap, where they were telling punchlines about bicycle shorts. Since then I have seen Le evolve into the fun-loving, openly pervy, and very witty comedian they are today.
This interview took on a slower pace, but I think that added even more weight to the heavy subjects we discussed. Le exposes a fear that most of us will never know. One that comes from a realization that your very existence is doubted, looked down on, or even ignored by society. Gender is a spectrum, not a binary.
