Velvet Garnet...
She is the very model of a modern disabilibabe. Whether neo-classic, nerdlesque, or mining history for st******se material, this Tease-Able original loves to bring her sense of humour and put the tea in WTF. Black and white and red hot all over, it's Velvet Garnet!

Against a purple lit background, she stands side-on to the camera, her head turned toward us, smiling. She wears a half-tuxedo, fishnets, white gloves and black round glasses. She is sliding out of the tuxedo’s jacket.

We are always trying to reflect and make our show more accessible within our means. All of the production crew donate their time and each show takes about 80 hours to put together.

For our next show and other shows in the future we are going to try out this new system. Wheel chair users, and other mobility aid users will be brought in ahead of the rest of the audience. They will be given reserved seats in front of the stage. In these seats they are less likely to have other audience members moving around them.

It will mean that is helpful if they arrive about half an hour before the show, so we can do this. It will also mean that it might be hard for them to move from that spot once they are in (we will always help you to move if you need to).

So we thought it might be a good idea if you meet the person who is going to greet you for the show on the 5th of July.

Image description: A graphic with a colourful background and an number of boxes on it. There is a Q***r variety show logo in the top left corner. A QR code in the bottom right corner, next to that is a Smith's Alternative logo. There is a wheel chair logo in black and white in the middle on the right. In the top right corner is an image of Rat Bastard. Text in boxes: Meet Rat Bastard. If you are a wheel chair user, Rat Bastard will greet ou before the show and bring you into the the venue ahead of other audience members. Rat will take you to an area that we have assigned for you and give you a little flag. Throughout the show you can raise the little flag and Rat will come and assist you. Ticket link in bio.
