Elf Lyons: ChiffChaff
What do you get if you combine Mr. Bean, Liza Minelli and Bubbles from Ab Fab? No, I didn’t think I’d see those three in a sentence either, but then I never thought I’d see an hour of comedy which attempted to explain economic theory through song and dance.

There’s a saying in the autism community: “If you’ve met one person with autism, you’ve met one person with autism.” There’s a serious humour at the heart of it, a wilful contradiction of logic spoken with an eyebrow raised that asks for change. It speaks to the frustration felt by autistic individuals who have seen the story of their identity told through harmful medical hypothesising, misguided neurotypical guesswork and deeply entrenched stereotyping – and usually by people who are not autistic.
