Daydream Extremer: Mike Raffone

Mike Raffone is to return to Buxton Fringe with a new, deeply personal one-man show “exploring the twists, turns, and revelations of a life lived with undiagnosed ADHD”.

Raffone tell his story about how, at the age of 59, he discovered he had ADHD in Daydream Extremer. It is described as a “witty, ironic and deeply personal tale of survival, acceptance and ultimately triumph” and is a “celebration of those who think differently”.

The show is part autobiographical tale, part insight into the unique wiring of neurodivergent brains and part call to action: to rethink the way we talk about ADHD, especially in adults.

Daydream Extremer also “celebrates the often-misunderstood brilliance of ADHD minds, bursting with creativity, energy, risk and imagination”. Raffone will perform it Underground at Spring Gardens on Monday 21, Friday 25 and Saturday 26 July.
