Sportsperson is Cerys’ latest show.
It was their debut solo show at Edinburgh Fringe 2022. It was about being non-binary and autistic and trying to fit in and find your team. Sportsperson was directed by Joz Norris and produced by ART Ltd and Ingenious Fools.
It received the Neurodiverse Review’s first ever Actually Autistic Excellence award as well as a five star review.
Here are some other reviews…
*** fest “The raw, personal feeling they successfully convey is worth a thousand culture war column inches.”
*** chortle “For us neurotypical viewers, it does seem a lot of faff to get back to where we started.”
*** broadwayworld “I reckon a lot of acts could take a note out of Bradley's book when it comes to audience participation.”
*** the wee review “a fun hour with an unlikely and triumphant conclusion.”
*** the skinny “It’s a really cool initiative, and a nice demonstration of both Bradley’s commitment and care to their subject matter, and the power of comedy and art to help foster connection.”
*** voicemag “At times, the show loses its focus, especially during a segment where a goose puppet is brought out onto the stage to pester audience members.”
*** darkchat “Bradley comes across occasionally as a slightly awkward performer, perhaps given the autism”
