Author And Stuttering Comedian Nina G To Headline Punch Line Sacramento

Stuttering stand-up comic Nina G will have the top spot at the Invisible Disabilities Comedy Show at the Sacramento Punch Line on Sunday, January 27 2019! Author of the forthcoming book "Stutterer Interrupted: The Comedian Who Almost Didn't Happen," Nina's comedy is funny, revealing, unapologetic, and always a window to her experience as a person who stutters. Through humor, Nina G is challenging now people think of stuttering.

Nina's brand of comedy highlights that the problem with disabilities is not the people with them, but a society that isn't inclusive. Nina thinks the recent trend of online stories featuring "clever" ways people "cured" their stuttering may be sending the wrong message to those who are non-stuttering speakers, offers. Nina adds, "Focusing on changing us instead of living our lives gives the wrong message to the public." Always one to model in herself what she expects from others, her humor is accessible to all who are ready for a good laugh!

On stage, Nina encounters the occasional heckler, but off stage she is often confronted with people's comments toward her stuttering. Listeners completing her sentences, inquiring "did you forget your name?" and giving unwanted advice like "slow down and breathe" are common.
