John Porter – The Impossible Dream

John PorterYou may say John’s a dreamer, but he’s not the only one. Despite cerebral palsy, that led John Porter to stand-up comedy, and somehow managing to follow his dreams.

Whether breaking his own heart in Bulgaria, breaking public urination laws in San Francisco, or just plain living in Manchester, he’s somehow done almost everything he dreamed of.

Now there’s only one dream left. Share in it with him.
