An evening with a difference at Garter Lane Theatre takes place on Saturday 10th October at 8pm with ‘Beautiful BSL’ (British Sign Language) by John Smith, Deaf Comedian.

In a show intended for those who are deaf and hard of hearing, this evening’s performance is in aid of the Waterford Deaf Centre and tickets are €20, and can be booked on 051-855038, at Garter Lane Box Office which is open Tues to Sat from 11am, or on line at www.garterlane.ie.

John Smith is a profoundly Deaf BSL user. Following on from his hugely successful, first stand up appearance late in 2005, John has moved into bigger and bigger audiences, entertaining in Deaf clubs and theatres countrywide. Using his experiences of growing up deaf in a hearing world John brings his observations to life, engaging his audience in hours of laughter and reflection.

Covering topics such as Current Deaf issues, Deaf politics and School life, John offers an amusing and fascinating insight into being Deaf and the world of British Sign Language.
