A photograph of Janet and another member of Latex theatre performing a short piece at London Pride between 1993 and 1995. The piece was short and punchy and delivered in an angry tone.

AIDS, you made your bed, lay on it" 3. Stupid Bastard: a sketch written by Janet Jones for Latex Theatre in 1993. The piece is a commentary on current legislation on AIDS, rape, MSM, the prison population, the age of consent, and drug use.
