I first heard about Lost Voice Guy from a Comedian’s Comedian
Podcast interview. He’s unable to speak due to cerebral palsy and uses a
machine, similar in idea to Professor Stephen Hawking’s voice machine, to ‘speak’.
Inspiration Porn was about how the media and propaganda uses
disabled people achieving great things as a means of trying to ‘normalise’
disability when a negative outcome is making those who are disabled but unable
to be ‘successful’ to feel crap, as well as talking about a recent
relationship.
It’s a well constructed show with good points and jokes.
Given his recent success on Britain’s Got Talent, it’s no wonder Lost Voice Guy
is performing his show again in Edinburgh 2018.
It’s a worthwhile show to check out, and certainly brings down any nothing that people
with cerebral palsy (and more broadly any disability) can’t be funny or
have sense of humour.
Score: 5/10
Venue: The Stand Comedy Club
