Neurohilarity is a wonderfully unpredictable variety show that turns neurodivergent experience into sharp, original comedy without ever feeling like every performer is telling the same joke. Carole Cunningham’s quick, relatable stand-up, Adam Schwartz’s dry and deliberately awkward delivery, and the freewheeling improv of Herding Cats gave the performance an energy that constantly shifted and kept us guessing. With stand-up, improv, music and burlesque sharing the stage, it is loose and chaotic by design, but that unpredictability is a huge part of its charm. Funny, welcoming and unmistakably Fringe, this is a terrific showcase for performers doing comedy entirely on their own terms.
