Check out this comedy ASL clip of Keith Wann who is a Child of Deaf Adults (CODA). Keith is an acclaimed ASL performing artist who is beginning to get some serious attention after a few years of comedy travels. While you watch the clip a voice interpreter can be heard in the background for those in the audience who can hear. After you are done with that, check out his other clip. If you have a funny bone for ASL comedy, he's the guy to guffaw over with. Maybe share a few heaving throws off the starboard side of a Alaska cruise ship this July with him on his next scheduled comedy trip.
Who is this guy? Well, Keith was born hearing to Deaf parents in California where he grew up living in both the hearing and Deaf worlds that led to his own stylistic way on becoming a stand-up comedian catering to both deaf and hearing audience, at the same time. All done in ASL. And, of course, can't do without the traveling interpreter, too.
