A night of visually-impaired comedy and Unsightly Drag!

by
Stand-up comedy from Extant — and the cast of Unsightly Drag

    News from our friends at Extant theatre and Quiplash queer crip company! Two shows coming up on Saturday 17 October online:

      Eye Say, Eye Say, Eye Say!   A composite image of three portraits, from left to right: A young man of South Asian heritage holding a microphone and grinning; A woman of South Asian heritage smiling wildly and holding a script in her right hand while shrugging slightly; An older white man holding an orange cane stepping down from stage supported by another man on the left wearing a mask. He is handing back a microphone to a woman on the right.  More than a dozen visually impaired comedians offer their 20/20 insights on their diverse experiences living in the capital for Eye Say, Eye Say, Eye Say!

    Expect eye-watering laughs as our comedians reflect on everything from experiences of lockdown, competitive mediocrity, responses to a How Your Disability Affects You form, to personal hygiene and the ups and downs of technology.

    “We want everyone – audiences and performers alike – to just have a real good laugh. It’s something we all need right now.” – CEO & Artistic Director Maria Oshodi on Broadway World
