Lost Voice Guy, the stand-up comedian who won last year's BBC Radio New Comedy Award, is inviting comedy fans to take part in a 'stupid amnesty' in regards to disability.

The comedian, who lost his speech as a baby when he developed Cerebral Palsy, performs stand-up with the help of an iPad. He says he'll answer any questions people have about disability.

He says: "Have you ever wondered how disabled people have sex? Or if disabled people have considered an exorcism? And just why are disabled toilets big enough to run around in?"

To launch the stupid amnesty, he used a talk at Disability Awareness Day last weekend to invite the general public to submit their questions about disability so he can finally put the record straight on a few matters in his show. Disability For Dunces, which will be on at The Stand Comedy Club this August, will feature the bizarre questions that he gets asked on an all too regular basis.

34-year-old Ridley, who lives in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, comments: "I'm often getting asked if I really can talk after my gigs, because obviously pretending to be disabled for the sake of entertainment is perfectly acceptable!? If I WAS going to do that, I'd probably pretend to be blind, so that my guide dog could shit on everyone who didn't laugh at my jokes.

"I've also been asked if I could still have a relationship even though I was disabled; and someone once asked if I wanted a list of doctors who could fix me!"

He adds: "Quite simply, I'm sick of dealing with stupid people, so I'm putting on this show instead. Think of it as being like a disabled FAQ for dummies (...or dunces for legal reasons!). I thought Disability Awareness Day was the perfect time to start to put things right.

"As part of my show, I will be inviting the audience to ask their questions as well. They can also ask me anything they like via email on lostvoiceguy@icloud.com."

Talking to people who are thinking of emailing him, he says reassuringly: "Don't worry about making a fool out of yourself, it's an amnesty after all. The more bizarre the question, the more likely it will be that I answer it. Hopefully the show will evolve over the festival as more and more questions get asked."

He concludes: "The saying goes 'ask a stupid question, get a stupid answer', so as long as people don't expect me to actually educate them, then we should all have a laugh."

'Lost Voice Guy: Disability for Dunces' is at 1:15pm at The Stand on 7-30 August (except Mondays). Listing
