Event Details
Joe Wells: Daddy Autism: Tour Preview. Joe and his wife are having a baby. He’s autistic so statistically it’s quite likely the baby will be too. In this new show, critically acclaimed comedian Joe Wells explores fatherhood through the lens of neurodiversity. Plus, there’s a really good joke about a parrot.
As seen on: Rosie Jones’ Disability Comedy Extravaganza, BBC Two’s Ouch Storytelling Live and Channel 4’s Jokes Only a Neurodivergent Can Tell. Over 20 million online views.
‘Some of the most surprising and thought-provoking material coming from any comedian’ Guardian
‘One of my favourite comics’ Frankie Boyle
