On 23rd January 2024 I was diagnosed as being neurodivergent which was kind of a surprise to me, funny enough not to anyone that knows me.

Although surprising this pretty much answered my full life and why I am the way I am. So come join me in a show where I’ll give you a 1st hand insight from my delusional eyes to what goes on in my ever expanding mind with stories of how I’ve manage to survive through a life of total confusement to how and why I now prefer to be alone, mostly!

Meet & greet included.

Age limit: 16+

Please note there are two events on the same evening.

EARLY SHOWING: 6:00-7:30pm (doors @5:40pm) and LATE SHOWING from 8:00-9:30pm
