So I gave them a listen and Adrian was like, “Do you want to come and be in a music video I’m doing with Candie Payne?” He was shooting a promo for ‘Are You One’ by his band The Chanteuse And The Crippled Claw on Kersal Moor in Salford. He brought one of those really cheap all in one rabbit suits. And he said, “Will you put this on and run round with a water pistol?” And I’d just completed four months of BBC telly, so I was at an all time low and feeling creatively drained because there isn’t much in the way of creativity in TV drama, so I said, “Yeah, why not.” And I had a really enjoyable afternoon in Salford.

From 1892 until 1954, three cabaret-restaurants in the Montmartre district of Paris captivated tourists with their grotesque portrayals of death in the afterworlds of Hell, Heaven, and Nothingness. Each had specialized cuisines and morbid visual displays with flashes of nudity and shocking optical illusions. These cabarets were considered the most curious and widely featured amusements in the city. Entrepreneurs even hawked graphic postcards of their ironic spectacles and otherworldly interiors.
