This raucous accessible comedy event boasts a line-up of award-winning performers with entertaining and uncensored insights into disability.
Showcasing some of Australia’s funniest comedians with disability or chronic illness, this raucous accessible comedy event boasts a line-up of award-winning performers with entertaining and uncensored insights into disability and oh-so-much more!
With razor-sharp wit and undeniable charm, The Are You Pulling My Leg? line-up brings to the stage hilarious and uncensored insights into disability. From awkward encounters to side-splitting observations that cut to the quick, no subject is off-limits. Venturing much further than disability, their quick quips highlight the many facets of their lives, relationships, experiences and personalities.
This thoroughly entertaining comedy show breaks through the barrier to enhance access for the performers as well as audiences. It’s Auslan-interpreted and live captioned so that everyone can get the punchlines and, hilarious jokes aside, at its heart this show is about access and inclusion.
Discover for yourself that disabled comedians are just as funny as non-disabled comedians! The biggest joke is that they don’t always get equal access to gigs, so support this show, have a laugh and help make a difference. It’s that easy!
"A non-conventional, yet entirely relatable culture with Crips & Creeps, one with a satisfying undercurrent of support and positivity"
"Crips & Creeps holds a fresh and unique position in the modern Comedy scene. By many accounts Crips & Creeps has evolved past its core concept as an accessible stand-up gig, by developing a new niche of live comedy."
