<v Oliver>: Hi, my name’s Oliver Hunter and I love my sport. I love music and going to gigs.
00:09 – 00:11
[The camera angle changes. Oliver continues to speak]
<v Oliver>: And I also myself perform a bit of standup comedy.
00:12 – 00:17
[Oliver continues to speak as a b-roll video of Oliver in different angles moving around a path outdoors, on his wheelchair]
<v Oliver>: Just after one gig, after one five-minute spot, the guy I’d never met him before, but he goes.

[The scene switches back to the studio where Oliver continues to speak]
<v Oliver>: I can see it in your eyes that you’re addicted.” And I think you could do ten bad gigs, but you know there’s that one good gig out there and you feel the room sort of with you, laughing. You’re chasing that all the time.
00:29 – 00:38
[The scene switches to show Oliver outdoors on his wheelchair moving along the bike path]
<v Oliver>: So we’re all chasing that I think. A lot of comedy clubs are in basements or they’re in the bottom of pubs, the tops of pubs.

[The scene switches back to the studio where Oliver continues to speak]
<v Oliver>: They’re in these little pokey bars, down alleyways. So I get to this venue and there is a door, a toilet door with a wheelchair universal access sign on it, but there’s a step-in front of the, in front of it for me. I’m like that’s not it! You know? So it’s like, I’d rather just be able to go to the toilet by myself.

[The scene switches to Oliver at a café having coffee and speaking to someone. He continues to speak.]
<v Oliver>: Because it can be more than what we think it is, so yes, rails and ramps and all that stuff is super important to me.
01:07 – 01:25
[The scene switches back to the studio where Oliver continues to speak]
<v Oliver>: In the context of venues and comedy and whatever else, but if you’re not aware or you don’t understand, it’s better to say the wrong thing than nothing at all. We can go forward from the wrong thing, but if you stay quiet and worry about saying the wrong thing, then we can’t, we can’t progress when nothing is said.

<v Oliver>: A better world for people with disability is a world where we can just do what we want and how we wanna do it.
