Wissam Kamal is Preparing a Stand-Up Comedy Show for The Deaf

It’s always good to see someone putting effort and energy to help people with disabilities, and this is what Wissam Kamal is in his own way trying to do to make deaf people feel less left out when it comes to stand-up comedy shows.

Eight years ago, and in one of his very early shows, Wissam noticed a deaf girl laughing to his jokes by either reading his lips or when her friends where explaining them to her in sign language. So he made it a point to learn the language, which he has been doing for 8 years now, in order to use it to prepare a full show for deaf people and he is now few steps away from making this dream project come true and possibly going international with it since sign language can to some extent be understood everywhere.

With such hard work to make the show possible, Wissam is being such an inspiration and I really hope we get to see his performance the soonest.
