SACRAMENTO, Calif., Dec. 20, 2018 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Stuttering stand-up comic Nina G will have the top spot at the Invisible Disabilities Comedy Show at the Sacramento Punch Line on Sunday, January 27 2019<\/a>! Author of the forthcoming book \u201cStutterer Interrupted: The Comedian Who Almost Didn\u2019t Happen,\u201d Nina\u2019s comedy is funny, revealing, unapologetic, and always a window to her experience as a person who stutters. Through humor, Nina G is challenging now people think of stuttering.<\/p>\n

\"Comedian
\nNina\u2019s brand of comedy highlights that the problem with disabilities is not the people with them, but a society that isn\u2019t inclusive. Nina thinks the recent trend of online stories featuring \u201cclever\u201d ways people \u201ccured\u201d their stuttering may be sending the wrong message to those who are non-stuttering speakers, offers. Nina adds, \u201cFocusing on changing us instead of living our lives gives the wrong message to the public.\u201d Always one to model in herself what she expects from others, her humor is accessible to all who are ready for a good laugh!<\/p>\n

Nina G Bio:<\/strong>
\nWhen Nina G started comedy nearly eight years ago, she was the only woman who stuttered in the world doing stand-up. Undaunted after battling a lifetime of stigma, Nina pursued her dream.<\/p>\n

Nina G is a comedian, professional speaker, writer and educator. She brings her humor to help people confront and understand Disability culture, access, and empowerment.<\/p>\n

Book Information:<\/strong>
\nNina G\u2019s latest book, \u201cStutterer Interrupted: The Comedian Who Almost Didn\u2019t Happen\u201d is a memoir, published by She Writes Press, will be released August 6, 2019.<\/p>\n

Nina tells the story of her journey of how she became, at the time she started, America\u2019s only female stuttering stand-up comedian. On stage, Nina encounters the occasional heckler, but off stage she is often confronted with people\u2019s comments toward her stuttering. Listeners completing her sentences, inquiring \u201cdid you forget your name?\u201d and giving unwanted advice like \u201cslow down and breathe\u201d are common. As if she never thought about slowing down and breathing in her over thirty years of stuttering! In \u201cStutterer Interrupted\u201d Nina confronts these interruptions and so much more!<\/p>\n

What the show is about and the awareness that it brings:<\/strong>
\nProducers, Ali Ada and and Drew Kimzey each live with multiple disabilities that substantially limit their lives, yet you might never know it. They’re both passionate about comedy but have significant obstacles that can prevent them from achieving their goals. The desire to turn their obstacles into strengths inspired the idea for this show.<\/p>\n

Line-up includes: <\/strong>
\nChey Bell, Jeanette Marin, Sureini Weerasekera, Anihca Cihla, Nicole Tran, Emily Pedersen and Kelley Nicole.<\/p>\n

Host: Amber Whitford
\nFeaturing: Coral Best
\nHeadliner: Nina G.<\/p>\n

About Coral Best:<\/strong>
\nIn the 18 months since Coral got her start in comedy she has gathered a significant following with her shockingly real and relatable story telling. After going through a major medical crisis she took to stage with her natural, conversational humor and absurd comedy style and never looked back. Many of her jokes surround her new life post surgery as a young, broke, female adjusting to having an ostomy bag. She performs all over the Bay Area sharing her unabashed tales in major clubs such as the SF Punch Line and the San Jose Improv, bringing light to her not-dinner-table-appropriate disability (aka her poop bag.)<\/p>\n

According to Coral: \u201cTalking about my ostomy bag on stage not only helped me to accept my new body and situation but educated others on a struggle they knew nothing, to little, about. It\u2019s not just about making people laugh, it\u2019s about drawing them in to your life enough that they begin to invest in attempting to understand your experience, with your disability. It gives my comedy more purpose to know I\u2019m doing my part to reach out to the audience and share that we are all going through some type of invisible struggle, and here I am being open and honest about mine in an attempt to bring us all closer together.\u201d<\/p>\n
