“There is nothing else out there besides my show explaining how non disabled siblings are affected by their disabled siblings. Both negatively AND positively.”
WHO: Graham Kay
WHAT: “Kay’s Pete and Me uses cheerful humour to talk about growing up with his profoundly autistic brother, exploring their relationship from childhood through today. From daily calls pretending to be Bert and Ernie to Graham getting arrested and his brother hanging up on the cops. Underneath heartfelt anecdotes and witty punchlines, Graham (The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert) is ultimately confronting his life’s biggest fears while providing a space for the conversations we rarely get the chance to have. ‘Brilliantly funny’ (Huffington Post). ‘An awesome comedian’ (Nate Bargatze).”
WHERE: Gilded Balloon Patter House – Dram (Venue 24)
WHEN: 18:20 (60 min)

Is this your first time to Edinburgh?
This is my first time at the Fringe festival but not my first time in Edinburgh. However, I’ve never SEEN Edinburgh because I spent the only day I was there in Jail for punching a mime who said something racist towards Canadians. Our people have been through enough! Now sure, the mime didn’t technically speak but they were being VERY suggestive.
What are the big things you’ve learned since 2023 and have you absorbed any of the lessons yet?
My big lesson from last year is that my ex wife Carroll is NOT to be trusted with my life savings. Now her and her new boi toy Frederico are living in a house that I PAID FOR!!??
Tell us about your show.
But seriously folks, most resources for families of autistic people are depressing. I wanted to make something that shows there’s good times and fun too. My show was written by me and premiered Off Broadway in NYC last year. The show came together when fans of my podcast “Autastic- A Comedians Guide to Autism” wanted to see a live show. There is nothing else out there besides my show explaining how non disabled siblings are affected by their disabled siblings. Both negatively AND positively.
What should your audience see at the festivals after they’ve seen your show?
Go see Two Sailors That Are Nuts by Chris Locke and Sean Cullen. Individually, both their styles encapsulate the Canadian style of absurdist irreverent humour. I’m excited to see what it looks like when you put them together.
