All Things Disability

I am teaming up with One Place East & Laugh-Able to talk about all things disability to celebrate the International Day of Persons with disabilities

 

Hi my name is Isaac and I have disability called limb/pelvic hypo/aplasia which in short means I have no arms and short legs, I also have scoliosis which is the curvature of my spine. Even though I have this disability it hasn't stopped me from doing what I can't. Skydiving in Ohio, skiing in Geneva and most recently becoming the president of a outdoor sports club called Wheels and Wheelchairs where rollerbladers push wheelchair users in different places. Anything is possible if you put your mind to it!

 

I’m Saifur. I have a disability called Osteogenesis Imperfecta, also known as Brittle Bones. My impairment doesn’t doesn’t stop me from living my life to the fullest. I have an IT background and currently work for 3 organisations. I was a Games Maker at the London 2012 Olympics and Paralympic Games which was one of the best experiences of my life. I love traveling to different countries, and my last holiday was Brazil earlier this year. No matter what disability you have, don’t let it stop you from living your dream. I go by my motto: Live Your Life to the Fullest!

Episode 6

Hi guys me and Mark Burkwood are going to be interviewing two Disabled comedians I will be asking them how they cope with their disability in these crazy times.

This week we have

Kitty has only been on the stand-up circuit since June 2019, but her very first gig earned her a nomination as a finalist for the NCF New Act of the Year Award 2019. From there, she has enjoyed bringing her unique perspective to audiences, with observations and anecdotes about her life as a bisexual, polyamorous woman of colour. Like many creatives and comedians, she also lives with mental illness and neurodiversity, with a dual-diagnosis of both bipolar disorder (type 2) and ADHD. Although she was a high academic achiever throughout school and university, her struggles with depression and executive dysfunction caused her to drop out of two different post-graduate degrees, as well as multiple jobs and hobbies. So far, though, she has managed to maintain her enthusiasm for the comedy stage, and hopes to harness her hyperactive, distractible, hypomanic energy for creative output and to fight the depression off with laughter.

Jimi Longmuir wandered into comedy by mistake in October 2018 and has kept doing it since then for some reason. He has gigged all over Scotland and sometimes the audience even laughs at the things he says onstage.

Since Lockdown started, he has kept going with zoom gigs, online videos and speaks to fellow comedians about the international scene that has sprung up on his podcast called 'Oh Lockdown. How We Laughed...

Hele Edwards

Helen is a Brummie comedian who moved to the North East to study music at uni, eleven years ago, and forgot to go home.

She noticed when she performed on her degree that her audiences seemed more interested in her banter between songs than the actual songs, so she decided to make a feature of it.

She just turned 40 and is unsure if she should be worried about the unnatural amount of pleasure she derives from eating teddy-bear-shaped crisps.

She also realised as a young adult that she's somewhat neurodivergent, which would go a long way to explaining life's challenges and some of her mental health issues.

First performed stand up in August 2010 but poor mental health forced me out of the game for a few years following a breakdown in 2014. Was finally diagnosed with Cyclothemic disorder is 2017, which is a mild form of Bi Polar disorder. Since battling with the condition and getting it under control I've returned to stand up when I moved back to the East Midlands and have had three successful runs at the Edinburgh Festival with panel show Improv Provocatuer and this year would have taken up my stand up show The Joy of Decks, about my seven year career as a mobile DJ.
