The Comedians with Disabilities Act

Next month, FREED will be bringing The Comedians with Disabilities Act to downtown Grass Valley for a night of laughter, entertainment, and reflections on being disabled in our ablest society. The Comedians with Disabilities Act is a collection of comedians who have disabilities, both seen and unseen, who bring forth the humor they find in their lived experiences as disabled people.

The Comedians with Disabilities Act will be performing on October 16 at 7 p.m. at The Center for the Arts in downtown Grass Valley as a fundraiser for FREED. Click here for more information and to purchase tickets to the show!

Today on Disability Rap, we speak with Nina G, a comedian who performs with The Comedians with Disabilities Act and one of the comedians who will be in the Grass Valley show. Nina is an author who has written three books, including Once Upon an Accommodation: A Book About Learning Disabilities, and she just recently debuted at #1 on two major streaming sites with her solo comedy album, Stutterer Interrupted. Nina has been an advocate for people with disabilities for over 20 years. She has been on many talk shows, radio broadcasts and podcasts.
