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.

Helen Holden
Helen is a freelance Project Manager for The Comedy Trust’s Feeling Funny project, which uses comedy and humour to support people with lived experience of poor mental health by enabling them to gain confidence and talk about their issues using an alternative and social approach. Helen has managed the adult mental health and wellbeing programmes at the Comedy Trust for over 6 years and she has been involved with delivering 20+ comedy courses, 70 drop-in sessions and over 80 community outreach sessions across the Liverpool City Region. She has seen the power that comedy and laughter can bring to people who are feeling low and isolated in what they are going through and how it can help to boost their mood and destigmatise mental health issues too.
Alongside her Comedy Trust role, Helen also manages an Arts on Prescription service for residents of St.Helens who are experiencing stress, anxiety and/or depression, another project that provides people with non-clinical and social outlet to enhance their wellbeing.
Helen's background is in the arts and she previously worked at National Museums Liverpool for 12 years in education and community engagement focused roles. She has undertaken training in counselling and teaching and is passionate about using creative approaches to develop confidence and increase well-being so that people can find the tools for self-care and recovery, helping them live happier and healthier lives

Esperanza Phoenix is an artist, both performing and visual. Her father was a Native American artist/ actor and allowed her to paint as soon as she could keep the paintbrush out of her mouth. Esperanza spent weekends on visitations traveling the powwow circuit and helping her father sell his art. This was a great opportunity to experience the culture and meet treasured elders in the community. Sadly, her father was also a narcissist and a pedophile. Esperanza's mother was too focused on her career as a teacher to recognize the signs abuse and get help for her daughter. Ms. Phoenix first acted professionally as an extra in Little House on the Prairie. If you want to get to know Esperanza tune in on Friday night and Get to her more

Hi guys I am going to be interviewing two Disabled comedians I will be asking them how they cope with their disability in these crazy times.
Victoria Melody is a theatre-maker, anthropologist and comedian. She is a unique storyteller who makes work about Britain's tribes and subcultures. For research she has become a pigeon racer, northern soul dancer, championship dog handler, beauty queen, funeral director, police officer and skipper. She’s an “off – piste comic treat” What’s On Stage and her shows are “fascinating, beautiful and Utterly Human ” Time Out. After being diagnosed as neurodivergent in 2017 she has been collaborating with a neuroscientist to find out what happens in your brain when you tell jokes. This form the basis for her latest show “Professional Stranger”. Her website is www.victoriamelody.com
Since 2005, David Eagle has been a member of three-time BBC Radio 2
Folk Award winning band The Young'uns , well-known for their comedy,
with the Guardian writing in their 5& review: "a rampant humour which
occasionally makes them appear more like standup comedians,
mercilessly mocking one another and involving the audience at every
turn ..." ""The Young’uns were bravely emotional but also very funny,
thanks to the constant banter from Eagle ..."
In 2018, David started performing stand up. He has been crowned New
Comedian Of The Year by Leicester square Theatre and at Bath Comedy
Festival and Nottingham Comedy Festival. He has been nominated as Best
Newcomer at the Chortle Awards. He has opened for award winning
comedians Reginald D Hunter, Tom Wrigglesworth, Adam Bloom and
regularly for Boothby Graffoe. He also starred in Tony Law and Phil
Nichol's improvised 2019 Edinburgh Fringe show.
David is blind, and his comedy often explores how his disability means
the most ordinary, commonplace events are turned into surreal and
convoluted dramas. Occasionally he dons his accordion (often as a
spiteful repost to hecklers) and performs one of his comedy songs,
such as his George Formby parody, described by the Guardian as "a
comic tour de force."
"Constantly hilarious, gag on gag, leaving an audience gasping in
admiration, and applause that goes on for minutes. You’ll be seeing
him on Live at the Apollo before long, guaranteed." (Bath Echo)
"David Eagle is a genuine stand up rookie phenomenon! Looking forward
to hearing more." (Reginald D Hunter)
"just seen the future of stand up comedy and his name is David Eagle"
(Boothby Graffoe)
