💨 Abstract

Sydney May, a blind comedian, has won the Comedy Bloomers’ LGBTQ new comedian of the year award. She emphasizes that her achievements are not just notable because she is blind, but because she is good at what she does. Born with retinoblastoma, a form of retinal cancer, Sydney lost her sight as a baby and later had her eyes surgically removed, enduring significant physical and emotional pain.
