[Ohio-talk] Local comedians who talk about disability

[Kaiti Shelton]

Hi all,
Together with another blind student on campus I am forming an organization for disabled students and allies. Everything is going according to plan, and I think we should be able to be registered as an official organization but the end of the week.
One of the things we talked about doing for a fundraiser is putting on a comedy night.   A deaf student in the organization said she would be willing to try some standup, and I certainly have plenty of funny stories to tell. The aim of the comedy night will be to show others that disabilities are just a part of life and aren't something to be pitied. In sharing this with our faculty advisor she looked up Josh blue, who has CP and one last comic standing. Coincidentally, he is performing at the funny bone in Dayton this weekend. Although I am kicking myself for not getting the club started a month ago so we could sponsor a trip to see his show or have him do a charity gig at UD, I am going to see him this weekend. It got the advisor and me thinking about  finding some local entertainment to do comedy performance is here. I was wondering if anyone happen to know of anything in the area. The only other person I can think of is a blind woman in California,  Who will probably be glad to show off her stand up skills, but we would need to raise at least enough money for her airfare and hotel costs. Any suggestions would be wonderful. Sent from my iPhone
