Lava Elastic

The UK's first neurodivergent comedy night comes to Contact Manchester, November 11.

Neurodivergent performers often struggle to get booked on the traditional comedy scene. Lava Elastic provides a supportive space in which to perform, and helps performers navigate the social codes in dealing with promoters and self-promotion. It came about after performer and promoter, Sarah Saeed, received a late diagnosis, aged 38, of Aspergers and ADHD and decided to provide a performance space for those who are also neurodivergent.

Lava Elastic will also tour, including to The Arts Centre Edge Hill in Ormskirk.
