Joe and his wife are having a baby. He’s autistic so statistically it’s quite likely the baby will be too. In this new show, critically acclaimed comedian Joe Wells explores fatherhood through the lens of neurodiversity. Plus, there’s a really good joke about a parrot. As seen on: Rosie Jones’ Disability Comedy Extravaganza, BBC Two’s Ouch Storytelling Live and Channel 4’s Jokes Only a Neurodivergent Can Tell.
“Some of the most surprising and thought-provoking material coming from any comedian” – The Guardian
Over 20 million online views.
“One of my favourite comics” – Frankie Boyle
★★★★★ NeurodiverseReview
★★★★ Chortle
