The Brit Answer to Marlee..



Well, reputed to be funnier anyway.... unencumbered by excess hair, has never done a film (Much to his credit), and doesn't waste his time doing the celeb circuit relating past glories (Mostly because there aren't any), but, has a real message. (Free copy of Understanding deafhood IF you can tell us what it is, the silver crosses are not working with mine, )... The part of Mr Bean is played by John Smith, the UK's only deaf comedian. The interpreter insists on being complete anonymous (And who can blame her ?).

  7. Not exactly a film is it ? More a short 'play' for deaf TV.... The moot point being made is the UK lacks funny deaf people, Mr Smith's own boast is he is the only one the BSL users have... I don't personally find him funny at all, and he is a one-trick pony really in deaf terms... I often fear the Deaf haven't any sense of humour at all.... they are rarely if ever topical, and bogged down in jokes about deaf misunderstandings, or hearing misunderstandings about deaf people.
