Jamie Reidy shares the story of Lee Ridley, a comedian who cannot speak due to cerebral palsy.

CNN’s Neil Curry reports on a British standup comic who uses an iPad to deliver his jokes.

Under the stage name “Lost Voice Guy,” Lee is fast becoming the talk of the town. Born with cerebral palsy he has been unable to speak since birth. Off-stage he uses a somewhat cumbersome machine which resembles an electric typewriter to convert his words to speech. On stage he uses an iPad with a text-to-voice app.

Here is my favorite line:

“In case you were in any doubt I really am disabled. It’s not just really good acting and I’m definitely not just in it for the parking space.

Thanks for the laughs and the inspiration, Lee!
