This Review is from August 2025

Right off the bat I’ll just say it, I really loved this show.

Cerys Bradley’s Queer Tales for Autistic Folk is a chose your own story improvised comedy show. I’ve been to see it twice now, the first was a relaxed performance, fidget spinners a plenty with a few folks choosing to sit on the floor or wondering in and out. The second was still pretty relaxed, but in a more traditional theatre setting.

The show is improvised around audience choices. Of-course, members of the audience make different decisions, so the story can never be the same twice.

Cerys Bradley is a very funny, quick-witted improviser. The comedian works in partnership with their audience to get the best out everybody involved. Not that anyone is forced to participate in any way. Lots of people choose to.

The idea is that at the end of the show, no matter what has happens, Cerys will explain how today’s story is a thinly veiled metaphor for getting an autism diagnosis remotely at aged twenty-seven over Microsoft Teams.

It just works. Cerys Bradley’s Queer Tales for Autistic Folk is being performed to full rooms. If you want to go, please don’t hesitate. Treat yourself.

A version of this review and an interview with Cerys Bradley features on episode 16 of On the Mic: Five a Day.
