The Staff Disability+ Network are welcoming local comedian and clown doctor Prof Martyn Eek Cooper and Lee Ridley, also known as ‘Lost Voice Guy’, winner of 2018 Britain’s Got Talent at this hybrid event.
17:40 - Martyn Eek Cooper (clown doctor, stand-up comedian)
Through music and images Martyn’s short show ‘Still Breathing’ shares how cancer, death and incontinence can impact on your feelings of self-worth and the struggle of remaining gorgeous.
19:00 - Lee Ridley, ‘Lost Voice Guy’
Lee is the first stand-up comedian to use a communication aid. His show sharply deals with misconceptions about his disability. Lee will join us online.
The show will include a BSL interpretative performance.
Priority for the free face-to-face tickets will be given to university staff and students. The link for online access will be shared with participants the day before the event.
