Comedy, Community, and Inclusion: Pamela Rae Schuller's Story

As a teen, Pamela had the worst diagnosed case of Tourette Syndrome in the country, a touch of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, and a whole lot of pent-up anger. She spent years depressed and wishing her differences away. Over time, she started looking at her life differently and turned her obstacles and challenges into the very fuel that propels her. Now an internationally known disability and mental health advocate and professional stand-up comedian, Pamela's stories of growing up in a body she had no control over are engaging, powerful, a little bit heart-wrenching, and unapologetically funny.

Pamela doesn't just "tolerate" what makes her different; she embraces it, loves it, and finds the funny in it... all while challenging her audiences to do the same.

RSVP is not required but encouraged.
