F**k The Disabled
... and post-screening make out session with the film's star, comedian Greg Walloch!



F**k The Disabled is part documentary, part concert film and part traditional filmed comedy starring Greg Walloch. The film follows Walloch's show "White Disabled Talent," chronicling his performances, his life and his daily trips to and from his apartment in Harlem. Greg stands out in his neighborhood for several reasons, not only is he white, he is also (surprise!) disabled and walks with crutches. Most striking of all may be the black leather pants, silver shirt and satin jacket he wears to his performances. Add to this the fact much of Greg's material is based on being openly gay and you have the makings for some of the most timely, provocative, honest and witty material in comedy.

Greg Walloch's material examines society's often skewed perception of gay people and the disabled. The film's title comes from a true story in which a female friend of Greg's asks if he is gay because he's crippled and therefore women won't sleep with him. In his understated sarcasm, Greg admits this absurd statement is true and tells his insensitive and simple friend he has started a foundation called "F**k The Disabled," for women who want to have sex with disabled men to keep them from becoming gay.

Walloch is as much a storyteller as he is a comedian, and his stories are translated to the screen in a unique fashion. Produced and directed by Eli Kabillio, for Mad Dog Films, Inc., F**k The Disabled breaks the line between reality and performance, as the stories recounted in Greg's show are also dramatized in a smooth transition between stage and screen.

Politically incorrect, politically challenging and politically untouchable, Walloch makes viewers question commonly accepted notions of "disability," as he pokes fun at religion, society, his friends and himself in F**k The Disabled.

With appearances by Stephen Baldwin, Anne Meara, Michael Musto and Deborah Yates as Greg's "friends."
