(BBC) – A man who was once told he might never walk or talk again following a devastating brain injury says stand-up comedy has become the key to his recovery.
Ben Shelvin was hospitalised after a drunk driver crashed into his moped during a family holiday to Croatia back in 2003. Now aged 44, Shelvin, from Salford, has made a near complete recovery, and has gone on to carve out a career performing stand-up comedy, and even run half-marathons.
He described the road to recovery as “a long process” but said the best advice he had to offer was to “just keep going”. CONTINUE
