The Disabled List Comedy Festival

January 24 @ 7:00 pm January 26 @ 10:00 pm

The Disabled List announces their third annual disability-focused comedy festival in the Pacific Northwest. Following the successful, sold-out run of the inaugural festival in 2023, and equally successful 2024 festival, The Third Annual Disabled List Comedy Festival will continue spotlighting new local and out-of-town comedians, including two headliners, Gibran Saleem (Host of @WhyDidISayThatPodcast, NBC Stand Up, MTV’s Beyond The Wall) and Hayden Kristal (Stand Up NBC, America’s Got Talent finalist). In addition to our comedy showcases, we are excited to announce comedian John F. O’Donnell will be performing his one-man show, I’M ON LITHIUM on Saturday night.

This festival is produced and hosted by local comedians Dan Hurwitz and Kayla Brown, and takes place January 24th-26th, with one show at the NW Film Forum and three at Theatre off Jackson

The Disabled List is a collective of disabled comedians that has been performing in and around Seattle since 2018. In 2021, we produced a short film, This is Spinal Injury, that debuted at Northwest Film Forum’s Local Sightings Film Festival and was screened at several other film festivals throughout the state.

Seattle Rep Theater Blues for an Alabama Sky

January 30 @ 7:30 pm 9:00 pm

In 1930s New York, the hopes of the Harlem Renaissance have been tempered by the realities of the Great Depression. Best friends and artists Angel and Guy dream of a glamorous future but can barely eke out a living in the jazz clubs, while their neighbor Delia and local doctor Sam deal with bombs and break-ins as they try to bring a family planning clinic to the neighborhood. When Angel catches the eye of a handsome newcomer, their clashing values set off a chain of events that will change everyone’s lives. Lyrical and deeply moving, Pearl Cleage’s classic drama will immerse you in the joy, sorrow, and resilience of a society on the brink of change.

By Pearl Cleage
