Iam currently doing a regular podcast, giving disabled comedians a platform from which to perform. My aim is to showcase the wealth of talent out there, which has hitherto suffered from a lack of exposure. I have cerebral palsy and, before the COVID pandemic, was regularly gigging around the country. Despite a lot of positive feedback, I have been saddened to note that opportunities for disabled people are quite limited in this field. I hope to change that.

BRAND NEW LIVE COMEDY PODCAST starting tomorrow at 8PM 
Join Benny Shakes, Kate Lovelock, Mark Burkwood- and Alex Leam for a cracking night of comedy - with a mission 
As many of you know, since lockdown I've been shaking up views on disability throughout 2020, interviewing comedians, presenters and artists about their experiences, which began as a way to connect with other artists 
The project has grown and grown – with comedians from across the globe appearing to tell their stories and have a good old shake down of life, coping with the pandemic and how they got into comedy.
Join me this summer for a BI-WEEKLY Podcast where I'll be interviewing comedy geniuses, writers and stars who have contributed incredible pieces of work for radio, screen and stage 
Supported by New Art Exchange Nottingham and Ingenious Fools, these interviews will be transcribed to form a basis of research into the challenges faced by disabled people in the arts industries and the positive ways they have overcome these.
This project aims to encourage early career disabled artists to come along, have a laugh, meet like minded people and find out the ins and outs of the industry. Come along to be entertained Benny’s unshakeable personality and offbeat questions!
