CBC Gem comedy series You’re My Hero, is about Ian, a 20-something with cerebral palsy, navigating the pressures of adult life in a world not designed for wheels. The main character, creator, and writer is Sean Towgood, a disabled comedian who wants to dispel the misconceptions around disability.
When approaching the design for the series, the concept was to show Sean standing out among crowds of people and faced with an obstacle that any other person would find ordinary. You’re My Hero is funny, and thoughtful and sheds light on challenges that people without disabilities may not usually have to consider.
