A proper Fringe experience - one in which I can see the world more clearly because I attended - and had fun. Comments on Rory Stuart and Alistair Campbell were far too cruel IMO... I am with your dad on that one!!

Couldn't miss this after thoroughly enjoying last year's show. Lots of laughs and things to think about. Wish it came with a reading list as you left tbh!
Importantly also an inclusive show where everyone can be comfortable. Thanks Joe.

Wholly inappropriate, consistently smart and very funny ruminations on jizz and philosophy. Sets a high comedy bar at midday.

Brilliant show - very accepting of neurodivergent audience accommodations and packed full of insight into Joe’s experience and perspective on autism, especially in relation to parenthood. Hilariously relatable to folks with neurodivergence – but fantastically funny to those without such too!

I really enjoyed Joe’s show. As a recently confirmed autistic person who struggles to attend group things in small dark spaces this was such an accepting show. I loved the use of PowerPoint and Joe was very funny, thoughtful and entertaining.
The show covers everything from family dynamics, human consciousness, parrots and tip rules, to name but a few highlights. Highly recommend

Saw Joe at a split bill gig first and then went on to see his solo show. Both extremely strong, and definitely recommend his show. If you think the show won’t resonate with you because you aren’t neurodivergent, you’re wrong. Super funny and well performed, go see it!

Thanks Joe - beautifully written and it all resonated as parents of an autistic son. Highly recommend!

Some material will be familiar to anyone who saw him last year, but it's very good material and the show is highly recommended.

First show of this years fringe we attended and kicked us off to a fantastic start.
Cosy venue well laid out. Relaxed atmosphere and comfy.
Joe had some fantastic stories emphasising his personal worldview, great callbacks and clever writing mixed with the absurd. 10/10 go and see him!
