Description
Alex Owen-Hill Asks Himself 'Is It ADHD?' is a gloriously ridiculous and uplifting exploration into what it's like to feel "not normal" your whole life, only to discover there could be a reason! Through a scatterbrained journey of comedy, clowning, and audience chat, Alex examines what life feels like to have a differently wired brain. Everyone is welcome, whether or not you have ADHD symptoms… or even if you don't know what ADHD is! A safe, inclusive and joyous celebration of being different.Please note that while all media gallery content is provided by verified members of the event, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society does not review or approve this content before it is posted.

As an adult who has only recently started their journey to an ADHD diagnosis, this show was pure joy. It was funny and clever and ridiculously relatable and Alex is such a likeable clown with a generous heart, caring for his predominantly ADHD audience and keeping us safe and loved. And what an utter joy it was to be in a space full of us! Even though we were crammed into the least suitable venue in the whole of Edinburgh for neurodivergents, it absolutely didn’t matter. And crammed in we were because he’d clearly and deservedly sold out.
Interestingly this was also the most diverse audience I’ve sat in in a whole week of Fringe for age, gender, sexuality and ethnicity. It was like being at a ‘90s rave. Which leads me to conclude that we are, in fact, the evolutionary future who will heal the world. Move over neurotypicals, your time is up.
