COLORED STAGE LIGHTS ARE A PHOTOGRAPHER'S ENEMY

Act Your Pants Off was held at The Monocle, an upscale bar with a small performance space in back. It has some plain white stage lights but also LED lamps (they all are now) that rotated between red, yellow, blue and green. It's hell to photograph with them. They mush up contrast and do terrible, unnatural things to facial features.

This is Panagiotis Papavlaspoulos, generally known to those (well, all) of us with little knowledge of Greek as Pete. He's a master at improv. This image has been really beaten up in Photoshop. The original looked like it was lit by the flames of hell. It has more pop this way.
