This groundbreaking disabled-led comedy event challenges stereotypes and pushes the boundaries of humour. By putting disability at the forefront of their comedy show, hosts Wheels and the Legman aim to break down barriers and debunk misconceptions, all while crippling you with laughter.

Prepare to be captivated by comedians -Jake Donaldson, Molly Robinson, Johnny Brook, Jamie Bush and Sharifa Butterfly – as they bring their own unique experiences and perspectives to the stage. With razor-sharp wit and clever punchlines, they fearlessly tackle topics that some might consider taboo, offering a refreshing and enlightening alternative to mainstream comedy.

This event is happening as part of Factory International’s free programme of events.
