Neurodivergent Moments with Abigoliah Schamaun and Joe Wells at Bookhaus

A event held at Bookhaus on Wednesday 15th July. The event starts at 18:00.


We can't stress this enough; this isn't a self-help book. Nor is it a book making any bold sociopolitical claims other than this one; Neurodivergent people are a community of real human beings with many shared experiences and as such we have a right to celebrate those experiences with silly stories about pet tortoises, one night stands, and showing the doctor your bumhole.

Expect cluttered kitchen counters, awkward coworker interactions, trespassing, cheese stealing, tears in the Austrian Alps, burned carpets, mayonnaise, plaque covered teeth, Duck à l'Orange, party poppers and much more as we share some of our favourite "Neurodivergent Moments" - moments in our lives when our brain has acted in an unconventional way.

We hope that by showing you the funny parts of our differently wired brains, we can encourage you to be yourself and most importantly laugh. Don't worry, you're in the company of people who 'get it'.

We are delighted to welcome Abigoliah and Joe to bookhaus for what is sure to be an entertaining event. Tickets cost £7 and include a glass of wine or a soft drink and £2 off the book. Presented by bookhaus.

Shappi Khorsandi author of Scatter Brain

'I loved this book! It's very funny, disarmingly honest, and full of heart. Enjoy both insight and validation via the brilliantly wired minds of two top comedians.'

Deborah Frances-White

'Charming, moving, funny stories from the lives of two talented neurodivergent artists. Highly relatable if you're neuro-atypical. Eye opening & empathy building for everyone else.'

Pierre Novellie author of Why Can't I just Enjoy Things.

"Abigoliah and Joe are always funny, interesting and insightful, especially when it comes to neurodivergence!"

Frankie Boyle

"A fantastic introduction to what it's like to be neurodivergent: funny; interesting; and free from the preconceptions and cliche that have built up around the subject."
