Oliver Hetherington-Page hates the Big Bang Theory’s Sheldon Cooper - even though, as a young man on the autism spectrum, at first glance you might think they have a fair bit in common. 

But Oliver's passions and talents like in music and theatre, not science and maths.  He's disappointed that Sheldon, a character not developed by people with autism or explicitly stated to be on the spectrum, has become the face of autism in popular culture - and he's out to fix that.

The Brisbane performer has channelled his lived experience with autism, relationships and dating into a one-man cabaret show, The No Bang Theory, and it's coming to the Undercover Artist Festival and the Wynnum Fringe.
