Hi Guys,

Ive been a T10 Para for 4 years and im 31yrs old. In December I started doing stand up comedy sitting down. I entered a national comedy competition here in australia and have made it thru to the national final on the 22nd of April. I will be performing in front of 1500 people at the Melbourne town hall and it will also be on TV.

My comedy angle is talking about the funny things that happen to me since I have been in a chair and it is working really well. If I win in Melbourne I will be going to the Edinburgh International Comedy Festival in Scotland which will be awesome. I plan to tour the states in future too so keep an eye out for me and come and see one of my shows ! I promise it will be in a wheelchair friendly venue !

Thanks smiles !

Yo Vet, i will be putting some of my video up on my myspace, i am also getting a website made.

If anyone has any questions about being on stage in a wheelchair please ask. It is an awesome feeling making AB's feel like they are the ones missing out !

i.e.

Geez those 110 degree days are pretty hot hey ? Luckly for me I'm a paraplegic......I only feel have of it ....so its a nice 55 for me !

That gets a good laugh ! and they are also left scratching their heads wondering if im serious !!

HAHAHAHA !

Get Down !

Hey - good luck with that mate - wish I had the nerve, there's plenty of material that comes from being in the chair.
