Liz Carr’s Personal Journey

At the age of 7, Carr has been reliant on a wheelchair due to her diagnosis of arthrogryposis multiplex congenita. This term encapsulates over 300 conditions resulting in multiple curved joints present at birth. While symptoms vary, individuals commonly experience joint stiffness and muscle debility.

Carr’s comedy often touches upon her condition, and she is a staunch advocate for disabled rights and political activism. After completing her education at the University of Nottingham, she pivoted from law to focus on disability equality training.

Carr’s dedication to disability rights in the UK is unwavering. In a 2011 Newsnight debate concerning assisted suicide, she expressed, “We’ve diminished the value of certain societal groups, including the ill, disabled, and elderly. I believe it’s detrimental to grant doctors the legal authority to end the lives of these individuals.”
