Bethany Black (born 24 December 1978) is a stand up comedian from Chorley, Lancashire, England.

She adheres to a vegan diet.〔(Bethany Black: Life as a transsexual comedian ), Guardian News and Media Limited, 2010-07-28, archived from (the original ) on 2010-11-22〕
==History==
Black had a troubled childhood, suffering from depression. She attended Manchester Metropolitan University where she got a degree in film, television and cultural studies. Black had a nervous breakdown and attempted suicide on several occasions.〔 Once she tried to hang herself, but the ceiling gave way. On another occasion she attempted to gas herself in a car, but the car ran out of petrol. She then came out to her family twice: first as a trans woman, and then as a lesbian. Born with male genitals, Black eventually underwent sex reassignment surgery and discusses her transition in her stand-up act.〔〔
Originally, she was hesitant about entering stand-up because she felt that the best comedians were older people. However, Black changed her mind after seeing Josie Long, someone younger than her, perform successfully while using material similar to her own.〔 At the age of 25 she started her career, first as a compere for a music club in Preston called "Club Fuzzy", where she provided comedy between the music acts. After a hostile reaction, she then began performing in actual comedy clubs. Black adopted a "Fairy Gothmother" style, performing her routines dressed in black, with black eye shadow and sometimes wearing fetish clothing. Most of her comedy is a combination of observational comedy mixed with innuendo.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Bethany )〕
Her career grew when in 2005 she opened the Manchester Pride festival. She also became a supporting act for other comedians such as Mick Miller and attracted positive reviews from other comedians such as Brendon Burns.〔 In 2007, she became a finalist in the Chortle Student Comedy Awards.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Chortle Student Comedy Awards 2007: Watch the Edinburgh Final )〕 In 2008, Black started performing her show "Beth Becomes Her", which tells the story of Black's childhood. She had previously resisted performing material about her life story for fear of how her audience would react. However, the show went down well with most of the audience. It was nominated for the award for "Best Debut" at the Leicester Comedy Festival.〔
