The Accessible Comedy Show features established and up-and-coming NYC comedians, and it’s the only recurring show that’s entirely in English and ASL.
“We try to bridge the gap between the Deaf and Hearing worlds, making English standup accessible to the Deaf, and exposing Deaf standup to Hearing people. We welcome all audience members from both communities.”
Here’s how it works:
If the comedian is Deaf, there’s a Hearing interpreter voicing the set for the audience. If the comedian is Hearing, there’s an ASL interpreter signing the set. There are also comics who are CODAs who sometimes sign their sets and sometimes voice them. At the next show, the CODAs will start with their voice on and then turn it off and sign only.
