Episode #277: Two stutterers walk into a podcast… I chat with stand-up comedian Aidan Greene about his upcoming film, Stutterbug, the first film since 1937 to feature a stuttering actor playing a stuttering character.

Stutterbug follows a man with a stutter, played by Aidan, who goes to extreme lengths to hide his speech, leading to a series of hilarious misadventures…at his expense. All Aidan wants is a cup of coffee, but his efforts to conceal his stutter cause him to accidentally curse out a charity worker, sabotage his chances with his college crush, Jess, by insulting her stuttering brother Sean, and—perhaps worst of all—end up with a mocha instead of an americano.

The film is currently crowdfunding, and you can help bring it to life!

Aidan and I also dive into his stuttering journey, how he got into comedy, and his experiences performing at major Irish comedy festivals. A regular headliner in clubs across Ireland, Aidan’s shows has played to sold-out crowds and he supported some of Ireland’s top comedians.

Aidan’s jokes are laugh-out-loud hilarious. Be sure to check out his comedy on his website and socials!
