A parade of wheelchair-bound Stephen Hawking impersonators gathered in Spain recently. It was all a part of Carnival festivities in Cadiz, Spain!

Why didn't anyone give us a heads up about this sooner? We could have had boots on the ground reporting from this amazing event. It's not every day that you get a chance to be surrounded by what was described as a parade of wheelchair-bound Stephen Hawking impersonators. That never happens! Around a dozen men participated in the event wearing matching beige suits, wigs, glasses, and their wheelchairs. They even belted out songs during the mini-parade in their "robotic voices" to honor the late Hawking. See a video of the event shared on YouTube below.

Seriously, how cool is that? I'm so jealous that I didn't get to go. Even if I couldn't participate, it would be cool to witness a one-of-a-kind event like this.

I love that they're all matching too! However, not everyone found the event to be cool. Some people described it as "tasteless." Read more about this super unique event of Stephen Hawking impersonators from The Sun here.

Cort Freeman was born and raised in Metro Detroit. He was named Clarkston High School 2009 Class Clown 13 years after graduating. Totally normal thing to happen. That’s thanks to his time spent as an Intern at Comedy Central and Social Media Correspondent for The Colbert Report. Cort has done comedy across the country, both standing up and sitting down. When he’s not trying to make you laugh on-air and online, he’s probably at home enjoying his favorite shows like Seinfeld, South Park, and The Office. He’s also totally uncomfortable writing about himself in the third person. Cort enjoys writing about comedy, food, sports, and entertainment. So, basically anything and everything.
