Unconventional ventilation
The leather pants that I wear in the show, I’ve gone through three pairs of them already. Leather pants, in the summertime, they get a little clingy. Sometimes they’re clinging when they should be moving. The first invited dress rehearsal, by the end of Act 1, I’d completely ripped the crotch open. And so the end of the act, it’s me fucking bellowing and freaking out, yet I’m feeling a cool breeze coming up my crotch.
