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!

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.

Marie Elizabeth

Marie Elizabeth

Marie Elizabeth is an openly Autistic, polyamorous, and pansexual comedian and producer based in Seattle. Known for their sharp wit, tender heart, and rabble-rousing spirit, Marie creates comedy that merges at the intersection of healing, mischief, and radical joy. With a background in therapy and a passion for Community Psychology, their work invites audiences to laugh deeply—and maybe even feel something.

Rachel Shaw

Rachel Shaw

Rachel Shaw is a Seattle born-and-raised stand-up comic. Back in 2021, Rachel resolved to do comedy just once to check it off her bucket list… she failed at that endeavor and has now done stand-up hundreds of times. She has since become an unstoppable force in the Seattle comedy scene, charming audiences with her clever and endearing comedic style. Rachel can be found slinging jokes in venues all over Puget Sound.

DK Echo-Hawk

DK Echo-Hawk (AKA the evening star) (they/them/she/her) is a queer, trans comedian, musician, DJ, writer, event producer, visual artist, and all-around Native person. They are perhaps best known for their comedy, which has been called “at least standup adjacent” by The Juneau Empire, and “punishment comedy” by themself.

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.

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.

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.
