About Craig Speirs
Craig Speirs makes his Edinburgh Festival Fringe debut with Problem Child, a stand-up show based on his late-life diagnosis of ADHD and the journey that followed. Known for a deadpan, self-deprecating style with strong observational humour, Speirs has been described as a rapid fire machine gun of punchlines. He has quickly established a presence on the comedy circuit. The show runs for 60 minutes at Terrace and is suitable for audiences aged 18 and over.
Why see this show?
A sharp, deadpan debut from a comic who has built real momentum on the circuit. Craig Speirs turns a late ADHD diagnosis into something funny, personal and fast-paced — well worth catching at his first Edinburgh Fringe.
