@itsaliceella: I know it’s called stand‑up, but I’m chronically ill so I sat down… and read a poem while real, heartbreaking before‑and‑after moments from people who live this illness every day played behind me. This part wasn’t funny - but the rest of the show was 😅 promise 😂 Thank you to the incredible people in this video for trusting me with your footage 💕 Please watch. Please share. This is ours - and so many others’ - reality. These stories deserve to be seen. I wrote this poem about my life with M.E. My community shared their before & after moments to stand with me as I read it. I’m honoured to hold their stories alongside mine. 💕 Thank you to @franhaddock_ & @amykatherrrine for their help with the background video 🎥 And to @deadplantzfilmandphotography for capturing this moment 📸 And to @thekinaton for the still image Background music : @itsaliceella Video edit : @itsaliceella Venue : @komedia_brighton Director : @veronica.von.beaverhausen [ VD : Alice, a tall white woman sits on stage and reads a spoken word poem. She’s wearing a hospital gown but it’s covered in gems and has feather trim. Fancy. She’s also wearing pigeon slippers. Also fancy. Behind her is a projector screen, where a video of Alice’s followers is being played. It shows them before and after they got sick with M.E. And has their names onscreen. ] 💙 #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis #MECFS #ChronicIllness #Spoonie #InvisibleIllness
