About

The Disabled List, produced and hosted by local comedians Dan Hurwitz and Kayla Brown, takes place bimonthly at 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, the award-eligible This Is Spinal Injury, that debuted at Northwest Film Forum’s Local Sightings Film Festival and was screened at several other film festivals throughout the state.

This live comedy show features Brown, Hurwitz, and an ever-changing cast of fellow local comedians!


August 2024 Lineup:

Thee Gemini Stone

Thee Gemini Stone

Thee Gemini Stone is a constellation of stars. They are a multitude. From red hot super giant swag to the luminous glow of a supernova and everything in between. They are a graduate of the #ShowThem Burlesque Basics Fall 2022 Cohort, a member of Haus De Corvo, 1st runner-up for Seattle Queer Monarch 2023, 2nd runner-up for Seattle Queer Monarch 2024, and Azúcar Latiné Cabaret’s February 2024 Fresh Face Feature. They have also been “whole-heartedly endorsed” by Seattle Publication The Stranger as a policy advocate for the Seattle Burlesque and Nightlife scene with a “vision for a brighter, more equitable, and sultrier Seattle.”

Seattle’s Gothic Beyoncé’s edgy rocker aura and goth glam aesthetic will mesmerize you through song, dance, and storytelling. Prepare to witness Seattle’s Sultriest Stranger-Endorsed Supernova – this steamy constellation is ready to seduce and enchant you.

Cheri Hardman

Cheri Hardman

Cheri Hardman captivates audiences with hilarious tales about being a plus size, menopausal babe. She won Tacoma Comedy Club’s “The Comedy Voice,” was a finalist in Nate Jackson’s Super Funny Comedy Club’s “Funniest MF Out Here” and performed in Seattle International Comedy Competition. Her bawdy, sassy style makes her the perfect host for “Heavy Petting with Cheri Hardman.”

Gretta Gimp

Gretta Gimp

Gretta Gimp has the disability Cerebral Palsy. She has been doing “stand up“ since 2016. Her humor is self-deprecating and cathartic. She finds humor to be the best way to educate people about disability topics and believes that having a disability is just an ordinary fact of life—not anything extraordinary or inspirational.

Danny Anderson

Danny Anderson

Danny is a Seattle-based comedian who’s been slowly and gingerly ascending steps onto stages all over Washington State! Danny is not only chronically ill, he’s chronically lazy too… But it’s OK, he’s a Taurus! As a middle child of five brothers, the son of old school Baby Boomers and a reluctant MS Warrior, Danny tries his best to find the “funny” in all of life’s absurd glory!

Michael Bellevue

Michael Bellevue

Michael Bellevue is an avid sailor, reader and writer of Russian, standup producer, avid volunteer who’s produced several fundraisers for nonprofits, comedian, chess player since age 5, linguistics fan, and, self-evidently, Black. He volunteered at a food bank for 15 months during the pandemic.

Your Hosts:

Kayla Brown

Kayla Brown

Kayla Brown (she/her) is a disabled activist and amateur comedian from Seattle. She believes that art and other media forms are a way to break down stereotypes, build community, and transform people’s worlds. When not at work or school, Kayla co-produces the comedy show The Disabled List, plays video games, reads fanfiction, and eats snacks.

Dan Hurwitz

Dan Hurwitz

Dan Hurwitz is a disabled, Black, and Jewish writer, comedian, and filmmaker. In 2018, he co-founded The Disabled List, an ever-growing group of disabled comedians from the Pacific Northwest. Dan was a semi-finalist in both the Laughs Comedy Competition (2019) and the Stand-Up NBC comedy competition (2019). During the COVID-19 pandemic, Dan co-wrote, co-directed, and co-starred in This Is Spinal Injury (2021), a mockumentary about the trials of disabled artists during quarantine, which premiered at Northwest Film Forum’s Local Sightings Film Festival in September, 2021.
