Fest-Able: comedians with disabilities or mental health conditions

A comedy festival showcasing acts with disabilities or mental health conditions will launch at Wanstead Library this July.

“When I started comedy five years ago, I remember being booked with another performer who was forced to drop out because they couldn’t get their wheelchair into the venue. I found this was a common barrier to a lot of acts with physical disabilities. So, I set myself a mission to change this,” said Fest-Able organiser Mark Nicholas. A series of 16 shows will take place from 3 to 31 July.
