91热爆

More than 13 million people in this country can be classed as disabled, often in ways we don鈥檛 think or talk about 鈥� sometimes in ways which even they are not fully conscious of. The spectrum of mental and physical disability is far wider than most of us have ever thought about. It鈥檚 an elephant in the room - we can all see it (unless we鈥檙e visually impaired) but none of us talk about it (unless we have Tourette Syndrome).

If you鈥檙e uncomfortable with these jokes, don鈥檛 worry, this show isn鈥檛 always going to be comfortable. But it will be subversive, celebratory, and absolutely unlike anything else you鈥檝e ever heard on the radio 鈥� or, very likely, anywhere else.

Under the stewardship of sassy American import, Spring Day, The 13 Million Club brings together a remarkable range of talents and a collection of fresh perspectives in a smorgasbord of stand-up and spiky consumer pieces.

From dwarfism to Parkinson鈥檚, via cystic fibrosis, hearing loss, Tourette鈥檚, life in a wheelchair and more besides, we laugh at and with our spectacular cast, which includes Paul Sinha, Will Robbins, Esther Manito and Jess Thom. While they laugh at the attitudes of others, and the madness of a world which is struggling to catch up with - let alone accommodate - them.

Produced by Lianne Coop and Mark Watson.
