Laurence Clark: Spastic Fantastic
Laurence Clark explores the meaning of disability in a way only he
can and asks; Is Heather Mills really a role model for the
disabled? What's the most ludicrous fake charity cause Laurence can
get collect money for as he takes to the streets with his
collection bucket? And how will the public react to
Laurence's a cappella band, Spastic Fantastic, which comprises
solely of people with cerebral palsy? These are some of the topics
blown apart by Laurence as he reclaims the word 'spastic' through a
rip-roaring blend of stand-up routines and hidden camera stunts,
flying in the face of a society that seems more concerned with
political correctness and language than how people are actually
treated.
"This is heavy hitting, clever stuff. Not very much stand-up these
days has the power to shock, to force a sharp intake of breath and
to change minds. This does. Not since Robert Newman have I seen a
comic who made me think so much and realise I knew so little. Go.
Think. Laugh." - Kate Copstick, The Scotsman, August
