… funny as, painfully vulnerable, and a triumphant reclamation of life beyond labels. — Otago Daily Times
ADHD is so hot right now!
In this “funny as hell” theatre show, Jo Randerson ONZM unpacks their diagnosis, neurodivergent parenting, sad songs, men taking their time, and more.
Randerson has a brain that never stops and a fountain of restless energy fuelling their fiercely funny artistic voice. Who knew that this fountain was fed by something they had diagnosed in their 40s alongside their son: ADHD.
In Speed is Emotional, Randerson bares their soul, sharing the exhilaration, exhaustion, joy, and absurdity of living and parenting with neurodivergence.
Catch its Wellington premiere – this is more than a performance, it’s a revelation.
I tēnei whakaaturanga “hātakēhi ake nei”
Ka āta mataarotia e Jo Randerson tōna mate aro pīkari, te whakatipu tamariki, ngā waiata pōuri, te whai whakatā a te tāne, me ngā āhuatanga maha. Ko Speed is Emotional te ingoa o te whakaaturanga nei, ā, he mea tuku mai i tana wairua, kia rangona tōna whakahihiko, tōna wherū, tōna hari, me te pōhauhau o te ao o te tangata, o te pāpā aro pīkari.
