Have you ever wanted to attend a comedy show that covers a range of subjects like hilarious middle school journals, genuinely emotional vulnerability, all the way to ADHD in the French Revolution? Oh, and be ready to both laugh and cry in the very same hour. Oversharer is a stand-up comedy show performed by Kristen Einarson about life getting an ADHD diagnosis at age 29.

One major aspect of this show was how well Einarson blended being honest and vulnerable with comedy. She effectively was very good at making vulnerability funny while not being disrespectful or ignorant! She made the audience feel comfortable and made us laugh, even in vulnerable or uncomfortable moments. She was relatable — by the end of the show, it felt like she had become everyone’s friend.

Einarson is certainly very brave for managing to make this show what it is today. She managed to show the positives and comedy of living with ADHD, but she also acknowledges the immense struggles that come with it. The fact that she does not just gloss over all of the harsh realities about the disorder is what truly makes this show as meaningful as it is.

Though this is a show about living with ADHD, this show could be easily enjoyed by both neurodivergent people and neurotypicals. Though her content is certainly relatable to ADHD havers — being chronically late, losing your keys, and even her line “I talk so much in social situations I became a stand up comedian,” the show’s great comedy and everyday-life material would make the show just as fun for someone who had only just learned about ADHD.

A great blend of hilarious, serious, genuine, and fun, make your way down to the Fringe for Kristen Einarson’s Oversharer.

And a message to Kristen: you don’t need to be calmer or quieter or any less of yourself. You are a hilarious comedian and please continue being the ADHD icon that you are. :)
