Jeff has the stuff to succeed even without the disability. Either way, he could have been comedian. It takes a certain attitude, and he has it, in or out of a wheelchair.

Charlebois relies on some subtle material, intersperses jabs at himself and tries to relax people about his disability. “People sometimes think of folks in wheelchairs as unapproachable,” he says. By taking the heaviness out of how people may view his disability, they can see beyond his wheelchair.

Jeff Charlebois, a comedian, writer, and multi-talented speaker gave the commence-
ment address. He has struggled with his paralysis to regain the ability to not only
independently, but find great success. After his accident, the comedian says he
took a chance on the stage of a night club, a chance to make people laugh, that changed
his life.

He is serious about one more thing--his comedy. His comedy has brought him more than just attention.
Although he didn’t exactly intend it that way, understanding
sometimes comes with laughter.

Today, Charlebois himself is at ease with his fledgling career as a professional comic. Since it is said
that laughter can heal, perhaps he has found his medicine. "I enjoy
life more when I am able to laugh a little, stay busy, get out and
do things. I don't want to sit around feeling sorry for myself.

The wheelchair is not the focus of my humor, it’s pretty hard to ignore,” he says. Growing
up he was always the class clown and his sense or humor helped during
the dark periods when he feared that he would never walk again. This
fear was replaced by writing and performing comedy. It is this focus
that gives him a purpose and a lot of happiness.
