Blind Comics: Braille Podcast & Edinburgh Fringe Show

Visually impaired comedy writers are gaining recognition for their innovative projects. Reece Finnegan, a TV producer, has co-written a new podcast titled 'You've Got Braille.' This audio series humorously follows a young blind man as he tackles life's challenges, with his visual impairment adding a unique layer to the narrative. The podcast was produced by Hat Trick and RNIB.

Adding to the vibrant scene, blind comic Aarian Mehrabani is preparing to debut his stand-up show, 'How's Your Head?', at the upcoming Edinburgh Fringe festival. Mehrabani has a history of working in comedy writing, including with his disability-led theatre company, FlawBored. In anticipation of his Edinburgh performance, he has been hosting comedy nights and previewing his material at Salford's Lowry Theatre.
