Tim Ferguson’s career has been an all-access pass to comedy gold, with his musical beginnings with the Doug Anthony All-Stars, 35 years on the stage and screen, and making movie magic with the feature film Spin Out.

Now, the comedian is sharing the complexities of his compelling career with a live audience, embarking on an Aussie tour of his hit show, A Fast Life On Wheels.

“I talk about what it’s like being me, which is actually more fun than anything else,” Ferguson said.

“I talk about what it’s like having multiple sclerosis and having to get around in a wheelchair as fast as I can - and I still tour around the world and teach around the world.

“So it’s about how I do both of those things - having MS and still getting stuff done.”

Advocating for people with disabilities

Away from the comedy scene, Tim is also working with Disability Discrimination Commissioner Dr Ben Gauntlett on new approaches for a campaign to help people with disabilities gain employment, and to get young people with disabilities out of aged care homes.

“He is doing amazing stuff with getting people with disabilities employed,” Ferguson said.

“It’s about making businesses more accessible to people with disabilities - whether it’s visible or invisible.

“At the moment, the numbers are terrible - more than 50 per cent of people with disabilities are unemployed, and we have to turn that around.

“They can be very effective in the workplace because they work harder and work longer and they don’t complain. Can you imagine working with people who don’t complain?”
