Making a special appearance in Comedy on Wheels is UK-based, Canadian-born comic Tanyalee Davis. At 3'6", Tanyalee is the Ferrari of comedy - low to the ground and kind of racy! Tanyalee has performed her one-person show Actual Size in Melbourne and Sydney (2016), was featured on BBCs Live at the Apollo (2015), performed her second solo show, Big Trouble In Little Gina, at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in Scotland (2013), and did a six-month run of her show, Little Comedian, BIG Laughs in Las Vegas (2011). Tanyalee is a member of the Abnormally Funny People ensemble, performing throughout the United Kingdom, as well as a writer and star of the Channel 4 series, "I'm Spazticus.

A shared laugh strengthens our bonds and dissolves barriers, says producer and Realwheels Managing Artistic Director, Rena Cohen. Comedy on Wheels will entertain and surprise you with its novel perspective. Prepare to laugh away some of your preconceptions!
