In 2003, public broadcasting companies around the country began running this hour-long comedy special. It is a one-man show full of "wit and wisdom" with a healthy dose of comedian Brett Leake's humor and insight.

Brett has a type of muscular dystrophy. Brett has been a stand-up comic since 1983. In 199l, he became the first disabled comic to appear on NBC's "Tonight Show" about which Jay Leno said, "He broke up the whole room. People realized, here's a man with a disability and he's not going to let it bother him." In 1998, Brett became a sit-down comic, but it didn't prevent him from being on the road 225 shows a year. In 2002, his one-man show "Knuckleball" began to play at small theaters. In 1998, Brett also began to work as a motivational speaker, adding to his act personal stories and what have been called "philosophic lecturettes" that address humor as a problem-solving device and as a mean's to get more out of life.
