What do these four guys from the North Shore of Massachusetts have in common? They’re all hilarious!
Asperger’s Are Us, a sketch comedy troupe from New England, starred in the documentary “Asperger’s Are Us,” which premiered in SXSW Film Festival and can currently be found on Netflix. The documentary focuses on “the first comedy troupe consisting of openly autistic people.”
Instead of focusing on the condition, the four men who make up the troupe perform skits and monologues that reflect their thoughts, perspectives and offbeat sensibilities, often characterized by deadpan and absurd humor… the guys are not looking for sympathy laughs or polite applause. Their show is not an autism awareness campaign, they say. They want people to laugh simply because they’re funny.The New York Times
