john smith the great Deaf comedian

On 25th Nov, John Smith's comedy night blew my mind away.. Before I arrived at Leeds Deaf club, there were about 70 people (10 hearing included). I so expected it was much less funnier than any comedians who I know. Yep I thought wrong! John is certainly a great Deaf comedian I have seen ever. Mind you, as a very straight man, his humour made me bit sweat already. I should say my jaw drop instead in a macho way..

As saying that, I had a dry skin and feel silent, he started to show the paper printed 'Peter Kay' the comedian (don't think he is really funny, actually it's very hearing humour, I'm happy to say that he is sh*t). He had some bad comment on 'disabled' people... He shouldn't get involved into Children In Need! But of course John picked the picture of Peter Kay instead which is very suited for Deafies' first language not hearing (spoken) language nor hearing teacher's first - yep that's beautiful BSL as visually, all of us recognised him.

John funnily mentioned about hearing people, they always pat Deafies' head when a Deaf person speak well... Made me so laugh, the way John described! None of them hearing did it on mine because oral education putted me off during my childhood.

His comdey is more like Audism, for example, some deaf oral users think they are better than Deaf BSL users. NO, NOT true, most of deaf oral user is really blonde people, their BSL is really bad which is very sad as hearing teacher the brainwashers must be pleased..

His comdey definitely would open Deaf eyes and hands who has been through Milan 1880's favourite communication mode oral education AND hearing teachers.

It would be great if John creates a new sketch like campaign for Spit act, people who speak in people's face to break law!!


beautiful BSL
