Is disability and exclusion a scary subject?
Worried you’ll say the wrong thing?
Too heavy to tackle?
Not to worry!
Blue Badge Bunch is a fun, light-hearted, non-threatening way to gain an understanding and appreciation of disability through game play, laughter and some good old straight talking.
Each game is designed to give a playful but powerful experience of different disabilities – drawing without arms, communicating without talking and visualising without seeing.
We have toured the UK multiple times, received a host of four and five star reviews and received incredible feedback for our corporate workshops (see below!).
Blue Badge Bunch offers performances, workshops and talks for:
- Schools
- Corporate training
- Staff teams and workplaces
- Theatres and festivals
- Community and cultural settings
Resources
- Activity packs for schools and workplaces
- A brand new video game for kids and grown ups
“You absolutely made the day and from what we’ve heard everyone really enjoyed [it]. We’ve heard from one very senior person that they actually cancelled meetings to stick around to listen, the comedian’s chat was that interesting.”

“If you are passionate about driving inclusion within your business and are looking to upskill your team’s awareness of different types of disabilities, I cannot recommend the Blue Badge Bunch with Benny Shakes enough!”
“We can’t speak highly enough of Blue Badge Bunch’s work. It’s important to show that people with disabilities are part of society. We live in communities where people have diverse preferences and identities. Activity such as this creates cohesion by creating conversation around difference in a light-hearted and open way.”

“Benny has an amazing story to tell and he lives this story out in his humour, fun and being true to who he is. Whenever, anyone listens and joins in with Benny they come away having caught some of his infectious personality”
