Comedy, Cerebral Palsy, and Parenthood

I love to laugh. That makes comedians my jam. Have you heard of Laurence Clark, the British comedian? Clark has cerebral palsy and might be the best advocate for turning people’s negative associations for people living with disabilities on their head that I’ve seen yet. My favorite clip from his website is the Charity Collection Sketch here.

Laurence — Laurence getting good reviews!

Before you click the video! Clark doesn’t have Chris Rock levels of profanity, and the sketch below is pretty clean, BUT there are swear words in many of his videos. If you’re at work and that’s a problem for your shared work environment consider this fair warning.

This past spring Clark and his wife were featured in the BBC 1 documentary entitled “We Won’t Drop the Baby.” It follows Clark through the birth of his second child and the couple discusses parenting, the public, and attitudes towards disability. Clark hopes the film will change people’s attitudes about disabled parents.

Check out the rest of Laurence Clark’s brilliant repertoire and blog on his website here.

Inclusion System extends our profound respect and immeasurable gratitude to all the ancestors and keepers of the land on whose traditional territories our work takes place. We acknowledge that we are on Treaty 1 territory, the traditional gathering place of the Anishinaabe, Cree, Oji-Cree, Dakota and Dene people and the traditional homeland of the Métis people. This land is sacred, historical, and significant.

Every time we acknowledge this truth, we have an invitation and an opportunity to reflect on the wrongs of the past, what we do in the present, and what we can do to continually honour the people whose lands and water we benefit from today.

This statement only acts as a first step in honouring the land we reside on and its peoples, and must be paired with education, understanding and informed action.
