WIRRAL comedian Liz Carr is bringing a brand new show to the city this weekend.

Actress and comic Liz has combined her talents to create a new one-woman play, It Hasn’t Happened Yet!, which she will be performing in Liverpool on Saturday night as part of DaDaFest 2009.

A familiar face at the deaf and disabled arts festival, the Bebington-raised performer has taken part since the first event in 2001.

But the new show, the story of a wheelchair user trying to break into the world of comedy, draws on many of Liz’s real life experiences.

She said: “It’s heartfelt, funny, and very challenging – being an actor and a comedian at the same time.

“The play was born out of the idea of a disabled woman trying to make her way in mainstream comedy. It was about putting out there some of the experiences I had, just for people to observe my journey.”

Liz, 37, was born in Port Sunlight and went to Upton Convent before becoming a full-time wheelchair user and transferring to Birkenhead High, which could better accommodate her needs as a disabled person.

She has lived in London for the past five years, but previously broke into comedy as part of Liverpool sketch troupe Nasty Girls.

She said: “We had an absolute ball, taking the mick out of what it’s like to be a disabled person and we did really well.

“But three disabled women? When it came to the critics, we got panned.”
