    Hit Me With Your Autistic is the debut stand-up special from award-winning autistic comedian Mark Grimshaw, a "sure crowd-pleaser" (Chortle) with a "wickedly subversive" "very dark sense of humour" (Harrogate Advertiser). The Great Yorkshire Fringe New Comedian of The Year 2018 brings their "topical, insightful and just plain funny" (York Press) show to CZcams. It's a show about autism, unless that doesn't seem interesting to you, in which case it's a show filled with "jokes [that] come thick and fast" (Neurodiverse Review) about things that are not autism.
    Hit Me With Your Autistic was nominated for the Autistic Excellence Award at the Neurodiverse Review Awards during the 2022 Edinburgh Fringe, and Mark's stand-up has had millions of views on TikTok (which isn't really that impressive since an algorithm is responsible for that rather than actual talent, but PR people insist this is something worth mentioning in promotional material anyway, so here we are). As seen on Joe.co.uk and StephenTries, as heard on BBC Radio Newcastle.

      Because, alas, they designed civilization, and being neurotypicals, they designed it to work for them alone. Not out of malice, but because they're fucking insane, and _don't even logic._ I mean, what kind of crazy sociopath conceived of rhetorical questions!? That's a question...that isn't meant to be answered! Why does it even exist? It's just a statement that rises in pitch at the end! Madness!
      On the other hand, we dominate all the technology and science fields, so swings and sledgehammers.
      We also have the market cornered on sorting objects by type, so there's that!

Even if you never do another comedy thing again one of my special interests is comedy and we need more sets out in the world talking about autism. I think comedy is a great way to help destigmatize autism and even if you never make another special I appreciate that you put this out into the world ♥️

      @David-um8tb Před rokem +5

      I know multiple that aren't. But my theory is that because we don't mind breaking social norms, we are more likely to find out that we like more than one gender, instead of neatly packing that part of ourselves away because it isn't "normal" without even realising it.

Thankfully in all our big brained evolution, we haven’t gotten rid of the fucking rewind button like the headphone jack in an iPhone. That was a dick move on Apple’s part. - To answer your question, yes I am.

    Oh! sorry for commenting so many times lol, but I just remembered I wanted to ask something! I don't know if you will see this, but I have family members I want to share this with who have audio processing issues, and they require captions to understand the audio in videos... I realize it takes effort and time to produce, but captions are a great and important way to ensure many different disabled people can access media. If you ever added captions to this video, I'd love to share this with the people I know who could use it! Hope it was ok to ask just in case.

    I'm trans and I found you through twitter talking shit about JK Rowling, and I just really wanted to say it is genuinely relieving to see comedy that isn't transphobic. Shouldn't be such a rare thing these days, but it honestly made me realize I actually really enjoy comedy when it doesn't rely on punching down at oppressed groups as if that is the pinnacle of comedy. There is soooo much good material to be explored, instead of the same cringe and boring 1 joke transphobes make over and over again.
    Like that bit you slipped in about "attack" being just one of the genders a helicopter has?? That shit was so funny and I can't believe I never thought of that before!! Meanwhile, there are so many comedians right now that basically just say "pronouns, am i right?" for 2 hours as humor... boring as hell lmao
