Keith Wann

Comedian, Actor, Performer, Director, Writer, Producer, Author, Promoter, & Interpreter

Keith Wann is an acclaimed American Sign Language (ASL) performing artist who has been captivating and amusing audiences with his controlled chaos and total pandemonium comedy explosions on stage, often leaving his laughing audiences gasping for breath. 
Born hearing to Deaf parents in California, Keith grew up living in both the hearing and Deaf worlds, and has been able to create unique perspectives on the ways of both worlds. This has evolved into a one-man show, “Watching Two Worlds Collide,” which takes a humorous, almost shocking, look at both worlds.
