Comedy Night: Asperger's Are Us

Asperger's Are Us is the first comedy troupe consisting of openly autistic people. As they say, “We're not a charity and we're not poking fun at Asperger's. We're absurd.” For the members of the Massachusetts sketch comedy troupe, it’s easier to associate with a faceless audience than with their own families. No matter who’s in the crowd, best friends Noah, New Michael, Jack, and Ethan have one simple mantra: “We would much rather have the audience appreciate us as comedians than people who have overcome adversity.” In 2016, a documentary film about their work was screened at SXSW, and was picked up by Netflix where it will available this fall.
Who should come to this show? As the troupe states: “As always, all performances are appropriate for anyone who's started puberty.”
