Show 25: Lost Voice Guy: Inspiration Porn


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
