I will say the comedy is shit regardless of their physical capabilities. Comedy is comedy. No judging by the cover shit. She is a comedy gold 100%

Why was I sitting here thinking this is a Ted talk?

Oh, My, just realizeD it is not a Ted talk after see your comment

Good comedian she makes fun of her self and others without being malicious.

[@musiclaboratory9694]

The first rule for every comedian is to make fun of themselves first and foremost before they dare make fun of someone else it helps to make jokes about the things you would heart are very most insecure about they won't know that you're insecure about it as the audience but it'll make the best comedy and you won't have to feel so much like you're tiptoeing on a line when you go to make fun of a topic that isn't yourself

[@emeltea33]

@@FlySuppaMayne haha, I see what you did there.

[@Peace-Love-Light]

I make fun of myself all the time but the response from people isn't laughter, its more like "Awww. Well, bless her heart." LoL

[@montiigo]

@@FlySuppaMayne WOW

[@shane8037]

If she was a good comedian she'd tell jokes about something other than her lack of hands. And she'd be a man, obviously.

This woman reminds me of my dad. Great sense of humor. He is missing both his hands and is forever cracking jokes about it.

Good to know that gesturing a lot with your hands when performing is universal even if you don't have hands.

[@Amozon28]

Studies have shown that even ppl who are born blind do hand gestures it literally is universal

[@shuhratkessikbayev8886]

These are the kind of people we need in life. The people who can laugh at themselves and hope you laugh with them despite them having a disability are God sent.

[@rawtrout3402]

why would you call her disabled that's so offensive and inconsiderate she's the same as any of us and beautiful💖

[@insertnamehere8099]

This is a comedy sketch In case you didn’t know, that is.

[@williamphillips2671]

Hmmm god sent? Yeah my god wouldn’t allow disability in the first place. So basically there is no god

i fuckin died when she said that😂😂😂😂

I...I imagined her trying to do it...and...let's just say I paused the vid and started it over... (I'm going to hell)...

@@CBCComedy thank you for this link. Surprising to get past the first comic, Ivan Decker was great, and find four extended length ads with no skip button. After a minute I realized that while I love the CBC and comedy, this isn't worth it. Considering that there would be several more of those excessive ad breaks in the 30 minutes remaining. Flash back to thirty years ago when you had several minutes of ads three or four times during a 30 minute tv show.

[@arashkheshtkar5462]

Now I hate myself for hating my life .

[@beatnickblanket]

That's a pretty fucked up thing to say. Like, your implication is "Oh I shouldn't hate my life because this person has it so much worse than I do." She seems like she's doing pretty great, dude. Maybe you just suck? ;)

[@tippyandfriend]

Why? You can have a shit life with hands, I've seen it. It would just be shitter to have a shit life and have no hands.

[@Siegmernes]

I know that feeling buddy. But it's kind of stupid. Thinking "I shouldn't feel bad or be sad because there's people who have it worse than me" is like thinking "I shouldn't be happy because there's people who have it better than me". Try not to beat yourself up so much :)

[@V0r4xiz]

Suffering is subjective and proportional. Just cause you're not disabled doesn't mean your shit ain't bad. Don't compare misery.

[@Pleasestoptalkingthanks]

I love this bit. It takes a lot of spiritual, emotional and hell, physical strength to carry on despite a condition. Bravo! My grandfather was born without his right hand. He worked for the FBI iirc and it always inspired me someone with a handicap could have such a high position. And here I am thinking I’d kill myself if I lost my dominant hand (being an artist/writer). Makes me reconsider how good I have it.
