RealWheels Theatre presents COMEDY ON WHEELS Celebrating Canada's Birthday with Belly Laughs!

Need a laugh? Award-winning theatre company Realwheels presents Comedy on Wheels: Celebrating Canada's Birthday with Belly Laughs! Building from the ground-breaking success of last season's SexyVoices, this creative and lively disability-inspired comedy variety show combines original stand-up performances, comical scenes, live music, projections, and fun surprises as Realwheels' community cast tackles some of our sacred cows.

Comedy on Wheels takes place May 18 to 20, for three performances only, at Performance Works on Granville Island (1218 Cartwright Street). In celebration of Canada's 150th birthday, Comedy on Wheels will showcase members of the disability community in performances that capitalize on some of our greatest assets - humour and storytelling.

Making a special appearance in Comedy on Wheels is UK-based, Canadian-born comic TanyaLee Davis. At 3'6", Tanyalee is the Ferrari of comedy - low to the ground and kind of racy! Tanyalee has performed her one-person show "Actual Size" in Melbourne and Sydney (2016), was featured on BBC's "Live at the Apollo" (2015), performed her second solo show, "Big Trouble In Little 'Gina", at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in Scotland (2013), and did a six-month run of her show, "Little Comedian, BIG Laughs" in Las Vegas (2011). Tanyalee is a member of the Abnormally Funny People ensemble, performing throughout the United Kingdom, as well as a writer and star of the Channel 4 series, "I'm Spazticus".

Comedy on Wheels features a large community cast and is Realwheels' newest project under the Wheel Voices programming banner. Previous Wheel Voices projects include: SexyVoices - A Burlesque Theatre Cabaret (2016), Super Voices (2015), Wheel Voices to the Max! (2013), Wheel Voices Live! (2012).

"A shared laugh strengthens our bonds and dissolves barriers," says producer and Realwheels' Managing Artistic Director, Rena Cohen. "Comedy on Wheels will entertain and surprise you with its novel perspective. Prepare to laugh away some of your preconceptions!"
