SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., Jan. 8, 2019 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Stuttering Comedian, Nina G. announces the release of her second book: \u201cStutterer Interrupted: The Comedian Who Almost Didn\u2019t Happen\u201d (ISBN:\u00a0978-1631526428; August 6, 2019).<\/p>\n

\"Stutterer
\nAS I WAS SAYING… If I could get a word in edgewise\u2026I wasn\u2019t done yet\u2026 If you\u2019ve ever been cut off mid-sentence, these phrases of frustration are familiar. Now imagine a lifetime of interruptions as a person who stutters? To suffer the impatience of others, whether well-intended advice or just blatant rudeness when all you want to do is finish your thought; indeed, to finish saying even one word.<\/p>\n

Welcome to the world of Nina G.: Professional Speaker, Stand-up Comedian, Author, and person who stutters. Sound like a joke? She\u2019d be the first one to say it – and she has – audiences across the nation. Her humor is one that informs and entertains. One that gives hope to those who stutter, and insight to those who don\u2019t.<\/p>\n

While childhood angst and everyday incidents offer fodder for her stand-up comedy on stage, Nina G. peels aside the punchlines to share her very personal story in her new book, \u201cStutterer Interrupted: The Comedian Who Almost Didn\u2019t Happen.\u201d The book, to be released August 2019, shares how Nina\u2019s life-long dream of becoming comedian almost died because she thought a person who stuttered could never go on stage, be on a microphone, and do a killer set.<\/p>\n

About the book:<\/strong>
\nIf you stutter or know someone who does, you know the reactions many people have. Nina G. has experienced everything. From hearing back-handed compliments like, \u201cYou are such an inspiration – if I talked like you I wouldn\u2019t talk at all!\u201d to funny looks and inquiries about whether she has considered intrusive brain surgery. People often interrupt, thinking it\u2019s helpful to guess what she is going to say. But it isn\u2019t just the interruptions from others that created a barrier for this comedian. Even worse were the self-imposed interruptions due to the stigma she internalized as a person who stutters.<\/p>\n

As a child, Nina wanted nothing more than to be a comedian. Stutterer Interrupted: The Comedian Who Almost Didn\u2019t Happen is Nina\u2019s story about how stuttering caused her to first abandon her dreams, then to embark on a journey towards embracing her voice that culminated in a career as one of only a handful of stuttering stand-up comedians working today. \u201cNina\u2019s story maps her transformation from isolation and shame to realizing the power of her voice through comedy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Through stand-up comedy, stuttering comedian Nina G. challenges the status quo of how people who stutter are perceived onstage and off. In the 1960s, psychologist Joseph Sheehan created the analogy of the \u201cstuttering iceberg,\u201d in which the tip of the iceberg is only what people hear (the stutter), and all that is underwater are emotions like shame, denial and isolation.<\/p>\n

Using humor and easy to follow explanations, Nina G. turns this analogy on its head, substituting negative emotions with positive ones such as pride, acceptance and community. She illustrates how both of the icebergs played a part in her development as a person and as a comedian. Nina\u2019s road to realizing her lifelong dream of stand-up comedy has been paved with funny, absurd and touching experiences.<\/p>\n

She shares all these with the reader in her singularly quirky and humorous tone.<\/p>\n
