Watch2gether: We will be using the Watch2Gether platform, and the videos will start at 20:00 finishing by 21:00. No registration required – all you need do is click on the screening link and it fast tracks you straight to the playlist, adding you as an anonymous user.

Theme: Stand-up (literally) Comedy on the Spectrum: A pleasure-filled playlist of merry musings from skilled stand-ups who also just so happen to be situated on the autism spectrum. So, ‘take a seat’ (by which I mean find somewhere to sit, preferably on something warm, soft, and padded), relax (depending on body posture) and (hopefully) enjoy!

Videos:
Runner up on Britain’s Got Talent in 2018, the first short videos feature Robert White, a talented, Mr. Whippy-haired musical comedian as he runs through his repertoire of light-hearted ditties.

The next couple of videos feature Joe Wells, the first being a clip from a standup gig for BBC Ouch: Storytelling Live, a show where people with disabilities and mental health difficulties tell their own stories on stage.

“I’ve always understood more than I could communicate” The playlist finishes with a TED talk delivered by Hannah Gadsby where she touches on notions of truth, purpose, and her daily struggles with communicating her thoughts and feelings to fellow human beings.

Cheers once again all, and I look forward to seeing your shiny, auto-generated avatars soon!

As is common practice, please do RSVP to this event page if you wish to get a sweet slice of the action, just so I can get an idea of the numbers.
