The Inclusion Event - Connecting with Comedy

Join disAbility Connections for The Inclusion Event: Connecting with Comedy, a free, reserved-seating comedy event presented in partnership with the Comedians with Disabilities Act.

Michael Beers, Nina G. and Mean Dave—all comedians with disabilities, both seen and unseen—bring humor drawn from their own experiences while helping change attitudes about disability one laugh at a time. Through comedy, they explore openness, support, disAbility pride and personal goals.

The Inclusion Event is disAbility Connections’ 30th annual disability awareness event. For more than 100 years, the organization has supported people with disabilities and worked to raise awareness while building a community where people with and without disabilities can live successfully together.
