- Shown during the spring of 1986 while Leigh Bowery was running his infamous nightclub Taboo, this documentary put Leigh on the map. A witty, provocative and inspiring film that includes a Bodymap fashion show, rare footage of Taboo, and interviews with Michael Clark and Lana Pillay, this documentary also reminds us what Leigh was like before he met Lucian Freud.

Leigh Bowery, yes a lovely man. I served him a Cocktail or two at Taboo. Ace Times. London was the Best then. Thanks for being part of My Youth xx
bless him. I absolutely love his stylings. If he went out to the shops he'd be laughed at by the ignorati. For anyone with a full quota of intelligence hes amazing!
The Ignorati...I love that! Can I steal it? Lol.
He is funny as hell.
Thank you millions for this upload! I would also like to thank Leigh Bowery, BOY George,Pete Burns,, Jimmy Somerville, and to all the other ( chosen ones ) and the Quinton Crisps of past and present generations ,
for simply being BE!
Gotta love the fact its Hugh Laurie interviewing Leigh! Was not expecting that! Was too young to see this program when it was on but its great see these eighties 'post modern' programs (i.e going to another program within the program) before post modernism disappeared up its own arse. Hugh's pretty broad minded (so I hear) and even he looks taken a back by Leigh...but the great thing about London is that, even though a few people were giving him looks, most just didn't give a shit.
Been waiting for this for years...Thanks Stella
If he had lived longer, I'm sure he would have become an icon of Trade (Turnmills) amazing artist, stay in peace 💙
what a super spinning character he was. just enjoying experimenting and sparkling all the way
. just bought a n amazing painting of leigh . people say it looks like me....what a compliment.
Today Commemorates Leigh Bowery's 55th Birthday
60th
I love that you can hear ABBA at the end 🥰
"Dandi-ism - its about being ahead of the pack" lol so true! so many times I wish I was a dandy. I guess it truly is about being ahead of fashion, music, makeup anything in the media etc and being that sharp witted one that creeps up and surprises.
The MOST eighties video EVER
its funny, you hear about Queen and you hear about the Beatles, but hearing about Boy
George, Leigh and the Blitz kids is like a breath of fresh air! I wonder why they weren't brought to light as much in the media? Or so it seems? Maybe its cuz I live in Canada idk
Haven't heard this theme tune in years! Forgot Hugh Laurie did the interviews on this show. Oh well, we all gotta start somewhere.............
It's Gerty Molzen, Walk on the Wild Side. What a cover!
So awesome
I know it didn't exist, but I wish this was in HD.
You can load video like this into an "upscaler" which will use machine learning take it to HD.
Does anyone know where I could find 'Dandies through the ages' by Stephen Calloway?
apparently it does not exist! It was crafted and used solely for the purpose of this documentary!
Lee and Huge!! awesome!!
Hugh Laurie interviewing!!
Cool!
love it
I can't believe it's Hugh Laurie interviewing Leigh Bowery! ultimately, with how he wound up due to his proclivities, Leigh ought to have heeded the influence of his parents and sister.
Who, oh who is singing that bizarre cover of Walk on the Wild Side? I feel I need to have it.

Most of those quotes were used in taboo. I must say that George was perfect for the part. Mostly because he knew Leigh personally.
"..But never dare COPY me.."
Boy George must have missed that quote, he also seems to ingratiate himself quote a bit towards Leigh.. Something he seemed to have no particular interest in while Leigh was alive...
Maybe you should watch the documentary The Fabulous Leigh Bowery and listen to what aBoy George has to say about his friend and what it was like coming up during Leigh’s time. Really no need to get snobby about it. Jesus.
I wonder what he'd be designing if he was around now 2021. [RIP]
This dude is fucking awesome
One of the top Dandies I'd say. Where have all the ultra cool people gone?? Sadly Leigh was another casualty of the fight against AIDS.
Amen, we've lost so many of the ultra cool people. I was a teenager in the 80's, and I'd go back in a second to relive all the wonderful creative weirdness of those years. Cheers!
What a genius!!
Because anything north of the Watford gap died from chips and ignorance. Cheers from the beautiful south.
Sue Tilley talks about her friend Leigh here too @
a LAUGH above *EVERYTHING.
Is that the makeup artist kabuki in 8:58 ?
He thinks outside the box, I'll give him that.
anyone else notice the interviewer is hugh laurie (aka House)? lol
'Leigh first realised thw street ....something sumthjikg
I like this guy =0)
creatures of the night haha. bless!
Here after supreme drop
Leigh Bowery must have loved a bit of Divine
All the NYC "ClubKids" sort of missed his point then. they all struck me as cloning his ideas.
yikes!
wtf
Absolutely ridiculous! Everybody acting as if they where demigods.
u2bMODERATOR What a silly comment. People taking charge of their lives and having a sense of importance is a good thing.
A BLOODY DISGRACE

I just don't understand this Person..... he must be a Triple Leo. Leo Sun, Rising and Moon. Narcissist, self absorbed and obviously came from a boring home upbringing. Doesn't impress me at all.
ANDILUSH That pathetic astrology nonsense says a lot about you and your own pretensions, and I doubt you impress anyone with half a brain.
ANDILUSH What is wrong with you? You sound terribly narcissistic and pretentious yourself.. You should really look within before criticising others. Also your pseudoscience, faux intellectualism, judgey astrology spiel is passe to say the very least and besides being utterly meaningless you sound mentally constipated. I suggest you learn to read your audience before vomiting such absolutely misplaced nonsense. And if you actually have gay friends, or any friends at all for that matter, I am sure they are unaware of what a socially inept, self important, awful, homophobic, douche bag you actually are. I feel terrible for them if they are real, and I truly pity your absolute lack of self awareness and communication skills. What a deplorable, self righteous tool, you sound like.
There is no way in hell you have gay friends with all the insulting homophobic shit that you wrote. I bet money you wouldn’t show them that paragraph. Disgusting.
Lol bitch who asked you
@@evangeline77x This is one of the best clap backs I've ever seen on YT! I enjoyed reading it...bravo.
Good old days
love it
wtf
