Walk On Podcast: Katy Sullivan

Nov 01, 2017, 12:00 AM

The UCB Comedy Podcast Network is excited to announce that throughout November we’ll be releasing three diversity based podcast pilots. You can do your part by tuning in and listening to these hilarious underrepresented voices in comedy!

Walk On Podcast w/ Joseph Kibler is dedicated to shared stories of those who have overcome their disability; both within the film industry and outside. Joseph interviews comedians, actors, producers, and athletes, all with disabilities, allowing them to share their experiences, their hardships and also their disdain for being considered inspiring “just cause”.

In this pilot, Joseph Kibler talks with actor, athlete, & double above the knee amputee Katy Sullivan. They discuss the usage of the term “disabled” vs “handicapped” & their preferred vocabulary. They talk Katy’s recent work on the stage play The Cost of Living, navigating the entertainment industry & the lack of roles & representation, being mistaken for military service members, her athletic career, being fetishized, & more!
