ABOUT :

From neurodivergent comedian Darcy Michael, a hilarious memoir with a message about living with adult ADHD
What if ADHD isn't a disorder to overcome, but a superpower that makes you funnier, more creative, and more resilient? In Attention Seeker, comedian and card-carrying adult with ADHD Darcy Michael offers a fresh perspective on getting through the daily struggles that confront those on the neurofabulous end of the spectrum.
Darcy takes readers on a humorous-yet-heartfelt journey as he relates stories of growing up gay, getting married, and finding a career in comedy, all while navigating life with an attention-addled brain. From his early acting days on Spun Out to finding fame (and love) on the internet, Darcy shares all the dirty details (it’s NSFW, folks!) of how ADHD has shaped his identity, his relationships, and his work.
Peppered with asides from Darcy’s long-suffering husband Jer, advice for ADHDers both silly and serious, and words of wisdom from Yuma Dog herself, this laugh-out-loud guide is essential reading for anyone unpacking what ADHD means for them—or anyone who just wants to giggle.

ABOUT :

Darcy Michael is an accomplished actor and joyfully neurodivergent comedian. Along with his husband, Jeremy Baer, Darcy entertains millions on his viral social media accounts (@thedarcymichael). Darcy and Jer’s sold-out 2023 comedy tour, No Refunds, has been adapted into a stand-up special and is the subject of the documentary Happily Ever Laughter. In 2024, No Refunds: The Album reached number one on North American comedy charts. Darcy and Jer live on Vancouver Island, Canada with their Golden Retriever, Yuma (@yuma.dog).
