Abstract
This paper will explore the intersection of live comedy and interactive technology through the work of UK stand-up comedian, Lost Voice Guy. Lost Voice Guy, real name Lee Ridley, has cerebral palsy and is unable to speak. Ridley delivers his comic material through an iPad using Speakit!, a text to voice app developed by John Stefanopoulos at Future Apps. The paper will consider Lost Voice Guy’s live performance and his use of interactive voice technology as a tool to provide a mechanism through which he can perform live stand-up comedy illustrating that the technology has the ability to both allow individuals to transcend physical barriers and bring a new dimension to the form.
