However, as a deaf woman communicating in British Sign Language (BSL) in collaboration with a translator, Kalaitzi employs these tropes to singular effect. Although she often gets big laughs, her act aims to give audiences more than just a good time. Through humour, Kalaitzi endeavours to spread BSL culture, and foster communication between hearing and nonhearing communities. Part of Bridging the Gap, the Scottish Documentary Institute’s ongoing initiative to support emerging filmmakers, Silent Laughs follows Kalaitzi leading up to a showcase set at the Stand, Edinburgh’s premier stand-up comedy venue. #standupcomedy #deaf
