What happens when you unmask autism and ADHD—on a comedy stage—during Pride?
In this solo episode, I share the chaotic, hilarious, emotional journey of performing my first stand-up set as an autistic, ADHD queer adult.
From scripting punchlines and channeling sitcoms to mic stand disasters and post-performance crashes, this is more than a comedy story—it’s a story about identity, burnout, recovery, and pride.
🎧 In this episode:
How I used stand-up comedy to process masking and queer identity
Why emotional burnout hits hard after unmasking
My ADHD script prep hacks and crash recovery tools
What I learned about my AuDHD brain by stepping into the spotlight
🎤 And yes... the mic stand really did fall apart.
