Unique: An Improv Show About Disabilities and Mental Health

Jul 5, 2024 - Jul 5, 2024 | 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Arcade Comedy Theater
943 Liberty Ave
Pittsburgh, PA 15222

Featuring monologists recruited from various disability non-profit groups sharing real stories about their lives and a cast of improvisers representing a range of disabilities such as stuttering disorders, autism, PTSD, ADHD, anxiety disorders, depression, and many others! Watch this truly extraordinary troupe of improvisers with diverse disabilities come together as one cohesive unit to create scenes based on stories from people in their community that help us understand the unique challenges of living with a disability or mental health disorder.

Studies show that 1 in 4 individuals have a disability (currently over 1 billion people worldwide), 1 in 3 people will develop a disability within their lifetime, and 1 in 4 individuals experience a mental health episode annually. Let’s come out and embrace this community on stage and welcome them into our improv world!

UNIQUE is hosted and directed by Kunal Mahajan, a person who has had a lifelong stuttering disability.
