http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steady_Eddie
Steady Eddy is the stage name of Christopher Widdows, an Australian
comedian and actor with Cerebral palsy. Widdows uses his disability as a
basis for his comedy. He performs mainly in pubs or hotels. In 1994, he
appeared at the Just for Laughs comedy festival, which was broadcast
nationally in Canada on the Comedy Network and in the United Kingdom on the
BBC.[1]
