Description
Do you misplace your glasses so often that you now have six pairs so you aren't trapped inside and half-blind? How often do you have the brilliant idea to paint your nails five minutes before leaving the house? How frequently do you shame spiral into oblivion while asking yourself, yet again, Why Am I Like This? Follow Nicole on her 30-year journey as she discovers the four letter diagnosis that answers the biggest question in her life, and what that will mean for the next 30. Spoiler alert – she has ADHD.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.

Nicole gives the most honest and heart felt performance in a complete roller coaster of a show. Nicole perfectly portrays the highs and many lows of growing up wondering what’s wrong with you, why you don’t fit and the struggles of not feeling like a real human. Expect this roller coaster of a show to make you feel understood and feel less alone. Everyone who has adhd, knows someone with adhd or just wants to see a good show should see this.

EPIC! Her energy, her embodiment of how I feel (what?!), her grief, joy, fear and everything in between… this is a rollercoaster and a validation. A terrifying look in the mirror and a hug from an empathetic friend. See this show if you’re ND and if you’re NT. We have to learn to understand one another - start here xxxx
