About this show

Disabled people are often seen as brave, inspirational role models. Matthew Hayhow is on a one-man mission to put a stop to that. Matthew may use a power chair, but what he lacks in basic motor function he more than makes up for in his comedic skills. Bring Out The Gimp is the debut hour from a comedian who delights in finding humour in any topic, no matter how uncomfortable, and delivering it in his trademark deadpan demeanour.
