*** About the show ***

The Disabled List announces the first ever disability-focused comedy festival in the Pacific Northwest. The Disabled List Comedy Festival, produced and hosted by local comedians Dan Hurwitz and Kayla Brown, takes place from Jan. 27-28 at the Northwest Film Forum in Seattle, WA.

The Disabled List is a collective of disabled comedians that has been performing in and around Seattle since 2018. In 2021, we produced a short film that debuted at Northwest Film Forums Local Sightings Film Festival and was screened at several other film festivals throughout the state. The Disabled List Comedy Festival will feature filmed sketch and live stand-up by comedians with disabilities, including standup from two out-of-town headliners: Gibran Saleem from New York City, and Nina G from Sacramento.

Headliner bio:

Gibran Saleem

Gibran Saleem was born in North Carolina and raised in Virginia in a Pakistani household. He started comedy while attending graduate school at New York University for Psychology. While attending school he was individually handpicked as an MVP nominee on the national TBS Rooftop Comedy College Competition and was a two-time recipient of the UCB diversity scholarship.

Gibran is the only comedian to ever be selected as a finalist for both the Stand-Up NBC and NBCs Late Night program; where he was one of six individuals hand-selected from over 1,000 submissions.

Gibran has been featured on MTV, TV Land, Popcorn Flix, PBS, CUNY TV, VOA, Elite Daily, and Cosmopolitan and performed his stand-up television debut on Gotham Comedy Live for AXS TV. He was the focus of an international documentary on NHK TV called Asian Dreamers: Brown is Funny and has been featured in festivals nationally across the states as well as winning 1st place in the Hoboken comedy festival. Gibran is a staple among college campuses and travels throughout the year. He can be seen on Pamela Adlons Better Things on FX.

Festival-wise, she has done Bumbershoot, SF Sketchfest, Women in Comedy NW, Upper Left Festival, Altercation, and All-Jane.

Accessibility

Ticketing, concessions, cinemas, restrooms, and our public edit lab are located on Northwest Film Forum's ground floor, which is wheelchair accessible. We have a limited number of assistive listening devices available for programs hosted in our larger theater, Cinema 1. These devices are maintained by the Technical Director, and can be requested at the ticketing and concessions counter. The Forum does NOT have assistive devices for the visually impaired, and is not (yet) a scent-free venue. Our commitment to increasing access for our audiences is ongoing, and we welcome all public input on the subject! If you have additional specific questions about accessibility at our venue, please contact our Patron Services Manager at maria@nwfilmforum.org
