I thought you might be interested in the following: one of my favorite BBC radio broadcasters, Peter White, who has been blind from birth, and is a total delight to listen to, recently entered a competition organized by the BBC for their annual charity fund raising day “Red Nose Day”. It’s to raise funds for all kinds of causes at home and abroad. He competed against three other seasoned broadcasters to do five minutes of stand-up comedy. They were all surprisingly good (having never attempted it before) but he carried off the prize. Here’s the link if you’d like to hear him and the others:

Enjoy!
