Book NowAbout the show
Moving On... Really, Really Slowly is a free absurdist comedy show from Stephen Catling exploring how an autistic, depressed performer recovers from heartbreak and loss. He describes himself as an irredeemable clown, and the show reflects on his conundrum in that spirit — possibly including a self-exorcism. Catling has been nominated for the Malcolm Hardee Award for Comic Originality and the Actually Autistic Excellence Award. The show runs 60 minutes, features audience participation and contains strong language as well as distressing themes. Suitable for audiences aged 18 and over.
Why see this show?
A genuinely unusual free show — absurdist, autistic-led comedy that approaches grief and heartbreak through clowning and raw physical performance. The nominations for both the Malcolm Hardee Award and the Actually Autistic Excellence Award point to something that stands apart from standard stand-up.
