Jo Randerson has worn many hats in their career, often at the same time. A writer, performer, award-winning theatre maker and champion of up and coming artists, Jo's brain is an endless stream of creativity, though one that's never able to turn off.  

A diagnosis of ADHD in their 40s came shortly after their son's, and Jo's new theatre show Speed is Emotional, explores just that. 

Through a mix of karaoke, clown, performance poetry, and stand-up, Jo expresses the chaos, joy and exhaustion that comes with neurodiversity and navigating a diagnosis as an adult and a parent.
