In 2024, we launched a call-out for a brand new talent programme, nurturing new disabled and neurodivergent comedy talent.
The programme saw three disabled/neurodivergent comedians or performers get the opportunity to perform on Blue Badge Bunch, take part in training sessions, host and run Blue Badge Bunch workshops and gain new performance credits working with experienced disabled comedians on our critically acclaimed kids game show.
The following performers were selected for our 2025 scheme:
Gabriella Rolls
Gabriella Rolls is an up and coming comedian who’s performed at nights including So You Think You’re Funny and various UKC Comedy Society nights, of which she is the president.

He properly started his comedy journey in October 2023 and in that time won Hampshire’s Rookie Comedian of the Year 2024, along with other personal highlights. Despite becoming Savannah Sight impaired at the age of five, Calum doesn’t shy away from what makes him different and continues to play with the cards he’s been dealt.
