“We can all agree this is adorable.”

Addressing us “able-bodied freaks,” Aidan Greene compares his choice of career to if a fish were an electrician. Against advice, he lets his stutter define him and how grateful we are that he does, as it means we get to enjoy this refreshingly candid and self-assured show.

He incorporates childhood homework and home videos into his set, welcoming us closer and allowing us to better understand his evolving relationship with an invisible disability. Though the concept of Stuttermilk Pancakes is to explore the humorous side of his speech impediment, the comedy never feels self-deprecating. Instead, it is as informative and challenging as it as entertaining. He pushes us to reconsider our perceptions and makes us laugh a lot in process.

Greene claims that being a comedian with a stammer is great as you only have to write half the jokes. I find it hard to believe that the hour set contained a less than average amount. But even if it did, we were all giggling too much to notice.
