Stand-up Charity Gig
Thur 3 April | 7.30pm | Stand-up | Age 16+ | Free – Suggested Donation £10
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 lense of neurodiversity.
Plus, there’s a really good joke about a parrot.
Joe Wells made his name as a political comedian with critically acclaimed Fringe shows including ‘Night Of The Living Tories’, ‘10 Things I Hate About UKIP’ and ‘I Hope I Die Before I Start Voting Conservative’, in recent years he has found online and live success with more personal material about mental health and being autistic. Joe is a favourite amongst other comedians and has supported Frankie Boyle, Alexei Sayle and Stephen K Amos.
As seen on:
Rosie Jones’ Disability Comedy Extravaganza,
BBC Two’s Ouch Storytelling Live and
Channel 4’s Jokes Only a Neurodivergent Can Tell.
In 2020 Joe went viral with his stand-up clip ‘Joe Wells on having a non-autistic brother’ which gained over 4.5 million views across Twitter, Facebook, Tiktok and YouTube. With more clips gaining views in the millions since Joe now has 160k social media followers across platforms. Join us for a special, free charity event where Joe will showcase new material.
