Mags, is a comedian, volunteer, life coach and college lecturer. Her wheelchair was a driving force behind her comedy. It started off as a centrepiece of her routine, but a sudden leg injury meant that life imitated art. Mags also played the role of carer for her elderly parents in wheelchairs, so has been on both sides. She spoke openly about her time spent incapacitated, the foibles of those around her, and what kept her sane. Mags decided to use the chair as a ‘vehicle for change’ in her stand up comedy, by using it each night to challenge perceptions.
