Ron...
Do you remember the name of that commedian? It's been bugging me that
I can't remember it (will probably wake up at three in the morning with
the answer...). There's a guy named Henry Holden who does standup commedy
with crutches, and a blind commedian named Gord Payner (?), and there's
always Geri Jewell, but that's a different entertainment category. What's
his name????

I was going to say Geri Jewell:
"I've been told I'm one of the few people who drive better than I walk.
I've been pulled over once for speeding -- four times for walking."
Gene Mitchener is a comedian with a sensory nerve disorder. He does
sit-down comedy: "You'll notice I'm in a wheelchair tonight. I thought
I'd slip into something more comfotable. I used to be in an iron
lung."
The British comedy team Flanders and Swann, popular in the '50s and
still among those in the know, like me. I think it was Swann who
performed from a wheelchair. Their two classic recordings were "At the
drop of a hat" and "At the drop of another hat." Funny stuff!
