Bad interpreters, name signs (nicknames in American Sign Language) and the challenges and triumphs of deaf culture will be the subject of a comedy performance by Selena Minogue and Casavina, two drag queens who make up the deaf duo Deafies in Drag, at an event to be held Jan. 11, 2020 in Fort Myers.
In addition to nearly a quarter of a million social media followers, the duo takes their acclaimed comedy sketch show around the world to address deaf struggles, language barriers and deaf life. Proceeds from the event benefit Sally J. Pimentel Deaf & Hard of Hearing Center.
