Nina G bills herself as "The San Francisco Bay Area's Only Female
Stuttering Comedian." On stage, she encounters the occasional
heckler, but off stage she is often confronted with people's
comments toward her stuttering; listeners completing her sentences,
inquiring, "Did you forget your name?" and giving unwanted advice
like "slow down and breathe" are common. (As if she never thought
about slowing down and breathing in her over thirty years of
stuttering!) When Nina started comedy nearly ten years ago, she was
the only woman in the world of stand-up who stuttered--not a
surprise, since men outnumber women four to one amongst those who
stutter and comedy is a male-dominated profession. Nina's brand of
comedy reflects the experience of many people with disabilities in
that the problem with disability isn't in the person with it but in
a society that isn't always accessible or inclusive.
