Comedy and Disability

Hey all I'm not sure if it's ok to post this here but if anyone can help me it's probably Reddit. I am a 43M with CP part time on crutches part time in my chair. I am a stand up comedy enthusiast. I swear I remember one of the more popular current comedians talking about doing crowd work they had a power chair user in the crowd. The way I remember the story the comedian skipped over the disabled individual. To which the disabled individual called them out for avoiding. The comedian then made a disability joke and moved on. I was watching Fluffy (Gabriel Iglesias) when I had the memory. I tried to look it up but the internet was no help. Does anyone have any recollection of what I could be talking about?? Please help.

Also if anyone knows any disabled comedians that I haven't seen yet I am always looking for recommendations. I know Josh Blue, AJ Wilkerson and Ahren Belisle, I'm sure I'm missing a bunch.

Joseph Kibler! (josephakibler on socials) The algorithm fed him to me a few weeks ago and now I’m quoting him daily.

I’m not sure who you’re thinking of, but some other favorites are Lee Ridley (the Lost Voice Guy, from Britain’s Got Talent), and Ryan Niemiller from American’s Got Talent
