Alan Abarbanell has developed a stage performance based on his upbringing as the youngest of four hearing sons born to deaf parents. Going by the stage name “Abababa” given to him by a fellow child of deaf adults who could not pronounce Abarbanell, the storyteller has announced plans for “The Abababa Road Tour 2005.” He’ll be bringing his comedy show to Boston, Long Island, Michigan, Mississippi, California, Oklahoma, Rochester and Las Vegas. Both of his parents died in 1988, and he is quick to point out that he’s not making fun of anyone. “This show is a tribute to my parents, my deaf heritage and the bicultural experiences of living in between the deaf and hearing worlds,” he said.
