The funny foursome

There's a difference between laughing at people and laughing with them. This is an important point that the Comedians With Disabilities Act want to get people to think about. The group of Bay Area comedians met and joined forces a few years back with help from local comedian Keith Lowell Jensen, and have been making audiences laugh (and think) ever since. The foursome includes blind comedian Eric Mee, little person Steve Danner, wheelchair user Michael O'Connell, and Nina G, who stutters. The line between being laughed at and laughed with is a particularly important one for them, as folks with disabilities are often the butt of jokes by comedians. “We thought, ‘Wouldn't it be more fun for the crowd to laugh with people with disabilities instead?'” O'Connell says. “That's guilt-free fun right there.” This is a special performance, a release show for their new CD, and Jensen will host. The Comedians with Disabilities Act; 8 p.m. Wednesday, April 29; $15. Punch Line Comedy Club, 2100 Arden Way; www.comedianswithdisabilitiesact.com.
