Description
Are you eccentric? Take the test as Quentin Crisp introduces Emily Dickinson, Spike Milligan, Screaming Lord Sutch, Patricia Highsmith and a cast of legendary Outsiders. Winner of Lifetime Achievement Award, Neurodiverse Review 2023. The Guerilla Autistics show returns for its tenth year whilst still never being reviewed by the mainstream press. Guardian? Times? Scotsman? Telegraph? Forget it – they never come near. Not even the Fringe ones like Broadway Baby. Loved by autistic and neurodivergent people and now a Fringe institution. Paul Wady is too OCD to give up. Fun, interactive and neurodiverse.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.

Boy is he good at the voices or is he good at the voices ? The sentiment of original creative lives, too.

Love this!
Genuine, laugh out loud character studies. Paul draws you in with subjects so clearly close to his heart. Informative, likable and fun!
Go see!

Paul's performance is both educational and entertaining, being autistic myself, i had never heard of some of these famous people before. And others i was rather suprised by. Paul pulls you in with his genuineness, playing numerous roles, which he does brilliantly, with a story that comes together at the end with a nice bow on top of the present that is this show. I reccomend you go see it!

Clever, genuine, illuminating show. Performed with real passion and talent. Didn’t know what to expect. And came away entertained, educated & moved.
It’s brave to be eccentric and neurodiverse.
