Cerys Bradley’s Queer Tales For Autistic Folk

If you’re looking for something genuinely different in Brighton this spring, mark your calendar for Cerys Bradley’s Queer Tales For Autistic Folk. This isn't just a standard stand-up set; it’s an interactive, choose-your-own-story comedy show that multiple sources describe as wonderfully chiflado (bonkers) and completely disparate. The whole adventure kicks off with the discovery of a mysterious door hidden in a disabled toilet during a boring commute, setting the stage for 70 minutes of expansive, audience-driven narrative.

The show is presented by Cerys Bradley, an award-winning comedian who has been featured on platforms like Comedy Central, UKTV, and BBC One Wales. Bradley is also the Winner of the Actually Autistic Excellence Award 2022 and was nominated for the Outstanding Neurodiverse Performance Award at Brighton Fringe 2025. This context is important because the show is specifically aimed at neurodiverse and Queer audiences, though anyone 14+ is welcome (with the usual caveat that under 16s need an accompanying adult, as some adult themes may be present).

For those planning to attend locally, the event is scheduled for Wednesday, April 8, 2026, starting at 8:00 PM (doors open at 7:30 PM) at the Komedia Studio (44-47 Gardner Street, BN1 1UN). A key feature of this tour is that all performances are designated as a 'Relaxed Performance.' This means the environment is designed to be accommodating: the audience is free to move around, make noise, and enter or exit the space as needed, and any audience participation is entirely voluntary. The venue itself also offers wheelchair accessibility.

Reviews have been strong, with The Neurodiverse Review calling it 'Hilarious, absurd and utterly joyful,' and The Guardian praising Bradley as 'A great storyteller.' If you decide to go, remember seating is unreserved in the Studio space. While the exact Komedia ticket price isn't listed, reference prices from other tour stops hover around the £14 to £15 mark. It sounds like a unique, supportive, and genuinely funny night out.
