A new one-man show about life on the middle of the autistic spectrum
Fresh off the Camden Fringe Festival with his writing debut, Daniel Toney is back with a LIMITED run of his one-man show about autism, what it’s like growing up with it and what it means to be on the spectrum in the twenty first century.
The show itself takes you on a staggered tour through life on the spectrum and encourages the audience to laugh along at all the curve balls that autism throws your way, from getting a diagnosis to coping in social situations. As the performer says: 'I'm not saying everybody sees the world like this, but this is a perspective that maybe you never had.”
Through the use of loose anecdotes and observations about autism, you're invited to observe a truthful, but humorous depiction of autism and how it is capable of being talked about and even joked about without fear of offence.
The show helps to increase the representation of neurodiversity and, with the writer and performer being neurodiverse, inspire those on the spectrum to tell their stories. This show contains some strong language and some loud noises (mainly made by the performer) right from the outset.
Some audience feedback:
'an authentic and engaging presentation of the autistic experience' - a neurodiverse audience member
'would have at least got 3.5/4 stars on it' - a neurotypical audience member
'something that's not often talked about when discussing in neurodivergent acceptance campaigns, let alone adulthood in general' - a neurodiverse audience member.
