Are You Pulling My Leg? is the groundbreaking, accessible comedy show landing at the Performance Arts Culture Cessnock (PACC) next month.
The event – on Wednesday 15 October – showcases comedians with disabilities and chronic illnesses, sharing brutally honest, hilarious and heart-warming takes on life, identity and access.
Since its sold-out premiere at Vivid Ideas in 2022 and a hit national tour in 2024, Are You Pulling My Leg? continues to smash stereotypes and bring disability-led comedy to audiences across regional NSW.
Accessible Arts CEO Liz Martin says the show is not just about laughs; it’s about equity and inclusion in the arts.
“Disabled comedians are just as funny as non-disabled comedians, but they don’t always get equal access to gigs,” she explained.
“This show prioritises access for artists and audiences — and celebrates the power of humour to challenge perceptions.”
Audiences can expect sharp wit, bold storytelling and raucous laughter as these comedians recall their real-life experiences in a way that’s as entertaining as it is empowering.
Access is centre stage in this show, with Auslan interpretation, live captioning and generous wheelchair-accessible seating.
Presented by Accessible Arts and Crips and Creeps, in association with Arts on Tour and with support from Create NSW, Are You Pulling My Leg? is not to be missed.
