International Stammering Awareness Day: 'I let my stammer control my life - now it's my calling card'

October 22 is International Stammering Awareness Day. Despite struggling with their stammers growing up, comedian Aidan Greene and blogger Bevin Murphy are choosing to embrace it.

Aidan Greene is somewhat unique in his profession. A comedian for over thirteen years, the Cavan native is (we think) the only stand-up on the circuit with a stammer. 

While for most people this characteristic of his is seen as an impediment, Aidan makes a virtue of it. To mark International Stammerer’s Day, he will celebrate his stammer in his one-man show, I Can't Believe It’s Not Stutter.
