Many visually impaired people are entering in the profession of stand-up comedy to make people laugh and change the attitudes towards disability in the society.

Here are two visually impaired comedians from India who have proved that blindness in no way prevents a person from having a good sense of humor.

Sundeep Rao is a blind comedian, who decided to take up standup comedy after getting bored with his IT job. You can check out his funny take on NRIs, Startups and Trump here.

Nidhi Goyal is India’s first blind standup comedienne and a disability and gender justice activist from Mumbai. You can check Nidhi’s funny experiences on relationships and arranged marriage meets here.
