It received the Neurodiverse Review’s first ever Actually Autistic Excellence award as well as a five star review.
Here are some other reviews…
“The raw, personal feeling they successfully convey is worth a thousand culture war column inches.”

“For us neurotypical viewers, it does seem a lot of faff to get back to where we started.”
Chortle
“I reckon a lot of acts could take a note out of Bradley’s book when it comes to audience participation.
BroadwayWorld
“a fun hour with an unlikely and triumphant conclusion.”
The Wee Review
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.”

Not Overthinking Things 2019 was my second comedy show. It explored intrusive thoughts and anxiety in a birthday party themed interactive show. NOTT2019 was directed by Elf Lyons and the props were made my Amy Greaves. It was supported by Arts Council England, the Keep It Fringe Fund, and a Brighton Pride Fringe Bursary.
“it’s a thoughtful afternoon out with a sprinkling of nostalgic party magic” – the Guardian
