My wife is deaf and we love live music, but venues can be hit or miss when it comes to accessibility. We're lucky that we have the ability to deploy me as a pocket-interpreter when venues are less than stellar and I can terp shows myself.

So we did that with Lutharo/Gloryhammer/Alestorm, and all of the bands were really cool, shooting me set lists and lyrics ahead of time.

I terped the show in a little corner by the stage until there were about 3 songs left, then a guy with the band ran up to me with a note on his phone that said "can we get the ASL interpreter on stage for the final song?" I immediately replied "f*ck yes," without thinking, then remembered I had never been on stage in front of more than about ~100 people before for my comedy. I spent the next two songs laughing with my wife going "what the fuck did I sign up for" in sign language to her between songs.


I have an Instagram and a Tiktok with comedy/ramblings. IG is the best place to get in touch with me/us if you have any questions about how we navigate the world together!
