Episode 1 of 2

Julia Sutherland presents an hour of stand-up comedy and music poking fun at the festive season.

Cerebral Palsy, ME, transgender-ism and blindness aren't really the sort of things you'd expect to laugh at, but in this show, that's exactly what we'd like you to do.

Host Julia Sutherland introduces the comedians who dare to tackle the most difficult, personal subjects. Lee Ridley is The Lost Voice guy, he can't speak - but is still an award-winning stand up comedian. After a 22-year struggle with ME, Viv Gee finally decided to tell jokes about it on stage and Jamie McDonald is blind. What do they all have in common? Jokes. Jokes about these difficult, body related subjects.

Their personal pain is diffused by laughter, and the transformative nature of comedy explored in the process.
