New Comedy Special, NINA G: STUTTERER INTERRUPTED Released On Amazon Prime

San Francisco Bay Area comedian Nina G, known for her unique brand of humor as a woman who stutters, proudly announces the release of her comedy documentary special, "Nina G: Stutterer Interrupted." Available now on Amazon Prime, this special arrives just in time for International Stuttering Awareness Day on October 22.

Directed by award-winning filmmaker Gina Chin-Davis, who also stutters, "Stutterer Interrupted" offers an intimate and humorous exploration of Nina G's life and career. Nina's material not only includes her experiences stuttering. She also jokes about her Italian-American background, growing up Catholic, body image and silliness she encounters.

The film captures a behind-the-scenes look at Nina's filmed-for-broadcast stand-up set at the Alameda COMEDY CLUB in her hometown of Alameda, California. The documentary intersperses Nina's comedy with interviews and archival footage, delving into her personal journey-her early love for comedy, the challenges she faced due to her stutter, and how, with the support of a high school teacher and the stuttering community, she embraced her identity and pursued a successful career in stand-up.

This special is more than just a comedy routine; it's a heartfelt story that addresses the genetic origins of stuttering and the stigma that people with disabilities often face. Nina G's collaboration with Chin-Davis ensures a fresh and often unseen perspective, blending powerful insights with equal parts wit and humor.

In conjunction with the special, Nina G has also released a comedy album of the same name under Punchline Records, marking the label's first comedy album. Both are a companion to her 2019 memoir, "Stutterer Interrupted: The Comedian Who Almost Didn't Happen." She is currently performing across the country in various clubs, theaters, and events, with scheduled appearances in California including Ventura, Grass Valley, the Oakland Comedy Festival.
