Autobiographical tale of a blind comedian uprooted to a new home
Comedian Jamie MacDonald has been commissioned to write a BBC radio comedy-drama based on his his own life.
Blind-sided is about a blind stand-up who is uprooted from his familiar home in Glasgow when his wife, a paediatric surgeon, lands a job in Sheffield – just as lockdown hits and his own career grinds to a halt.
The BBC blurb for the show adds: ‘In a strange new place, stripped of the job he worked so hard to define him, he’s had to come up with ways to fill his days and reassert the control he once had over his disability, in a world that’s out of control.
