A story of resilience, passion, and laughter from the heart

Canoga Park, CA, December 4, 2025 — On an upcoming episode of The Able Show, award-winning actress, producer, and comedian Dawn Grabowski will take a seat with the show’s hosts for an exclusive and inspiring interview. Her vibrant spirit and unmistakable humor are sure to leave audiences smiling—yet her story reaches far beyond the spotlight.

Keep Moving Forward

Diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy early in life, Grabowski navigates a condition marked by impaired muscle coordination, including paralysis in her legs. Rather than allowing these obstacles to define her, she forged ahead with determination and talent. She earned a B.A. in Theatre Arts from Stetson University and a B.S. in Paralegal Studies from Kaplan University, setting the stage for an extraordinary career.

Let’s Get the Show on the Road

Grabowski is a recipient of both the Christopher Reeve Acting Scholarship Competition award and the Norman G. Brooks Comedy Competition award. Her first major acting break came when she appeared in the film Always Going Up, co-starring alongside legendary actor Tom Cruise. She later garnered recognition for her work in the 2005 film Dangerous Perceptions, which she wrote, produced, and financed. Her television credits also include an appearance on the hit CBS series S.W.A.T. in 2017.

A multi-talented creative, Grabowski has produced three original web series: Life in Limbo as Interpreted by Dawn Grabowski, What’s Your Channel 4 Life?, and Dawn Grabowski: Open Heart. Flat-Chested. Brass Balls!

Outside of her work in film and comedy, Grabowski is also a sought-after motivational speaker, using her journey to encourage audiences to pursue their dreams with courage and tenacity.

Spotlight on Her

As a guest on The Able Show, she will share how she has achieved so much, how she continues to model potency, and how others—especially those who look up to her—can follow in her footsteps. This is an episode you won’t want to miss!
