You remember our friend, Drew Lynch, the stuttering comedian that got his start on America's Got Talent. His comedy career has grown and still continues to inspire to this day. We've even written recent articles in regards to Drew and his inspirational comedy team.
Since laughter is the best medicine, we found some up and coming disabled comedians that are also incredibly funny and laugh in the face of their setbacks.
Ahren Belisle
Ahren Belisle is a Canadian-American stand-up comedian known for his unique performance style. Ahren is a nonverbal (mute) comedian who has cerebral palsy and delivers his jokes using a text-to-speech app on his phone.
Much like Drew, Ahren was a Top 10 Finalist in the eighteenth season of America's Got Talent (AGT). He is also a regular fixture and "Golden Ticket" winner on the popular podcast, Kill Tony.
He uses his comedy and social media following to spread messages of positivity and inclusion.
His career in comedy quickly rose, and his distinct method of delivery, which includes the comedic tension created by the typing delay, has earned him a large following.

She frequently appears as a special guest on the popular podcast Kill Tony and performs at the Comedy Mothership in Austin, Texas.
Fiona uses her life experiences, particularly those related to her disability, as material in her comedy. She lives with Friedreich's ataxia (FA), a rare, degenerative neurological disease that affects the nervous system and causes a progressive loss of muscle control. She was diagnosed at the age of 18. She has used a cane, a walker, and is currently a wheelchair user, which inspires much of her comedy and speaking engagements.

Senator's #SNAPchallenge
The world seems hopeless right now with the government shutdowns and SNAP benefits being cut, it's easy to feel alone and unseen without representation.
That's why we're loving the #snapchallenge made popular by Senator Saud Anwar. The #SNAPChallenge, raises awareness about hunger by having participants live on a very low food budget (around $6 per day.)
Senator Anwar has been doing the #snapchallenge, sharing his $6 meals everyday to share what it looks like living off a low income daily food budget.
Senator Anwar stated, “I stand with those facing tough choices, today I commit to living on $6.20 a day in solidarity with Connecticut residents about to lose SNAP benefits. It’s time our communities and elected leaders act with urgency and compassion to end hunger.
