Neurohilarity

Neurohilarity—Alloway Hall – Manitoba Museum

This was a treat! A comedy show featuring standup, song and spoken word, it presents performers who live a neurodivergent existence. It was a beautiful and candid glimpse into the lived experiences of folks on certain spectrums, whether that be autism, anxiety, or dyslexia, to name a few. While it was hilarious of course, it was also validating to see that although we may live with different states of being, we all struggle with similar things, have shared experiences, and navigate the same weird confusing world. Hearing their stories had me laughing and crying. I feel as though this show can not only help the audience feel seen, it can educate as well. Absolutely loved it.
