Welcome

ND Review was set up in July 2022 after realising there were no dedicated review sites for neurodivergent, autistic and disabled-led work. 

All of our reviewers are disabled, and we only cover work led by our community. The work doesn’t have to be about disability. 

We do not review work which is about disability by non-disabled artists. Nothing about us without us.

Our ethos is to support other disabled creatives who want to champion disabled-led work. This has led to the creation of The Ontario Review for Disabled Arts, the first of, we hope, many sites that champion our communities.

Latest Reviews

  • Twonkey’s Soft December Night in Tallahassee
    ★★★★★ After 16 years at the fringe, you’d think Paul Vickers, aka Twonkey aka Twonketta, would’ve said and sung all they’d needed to! But the latest instalment of the franchise, is more of a catharsis than performance. Ready with Timothy Horsepiss, a distressed stuffed kitten squeaking incomprehensible monologues and Transylvanian Finger Fantasies, the usual staples…
  • Ruby Wax: Absolutely Famous
    ★★★★ “This is the first time I’m doing a show unscripted, so anything could come out,” promises Ruby Wax at the top of the hour.

  • Dom McGovern: Prize Hog
    ★★★★★ Dom McGovern’s Prize Hog is an exceptional debut about eating disorders, queerness, and our lord and saviour Kate Moss. McGovern has an electric stage presence and has managed to find the ideal balance between inviting the audience to laugh at and with him. He is not above us, he is us, and, through him,…
  • This Is How I Got Arrested…
    ★★★★★ Sophie paints the perfect picture of her family life, her dads an ‘art dealer’, her brother is going into the business, and all she wants for her birthday is Polly Pocket shoes from Clarks. This is told from the viewpoint of the adult Sophie, electronically tagged and waiting for a flight out of Spain.…
  • The Great ADHD Myth?
    NO ★ The question-mark in the title of Channel 4’s, ‘documentary’ is the closest you’ll get to an attempt at balance. I also put ‘documentary’ in inverted commas, because this is essentially an opinion piece by Psychiatrist Max Pemberton. The programme smacks of the medicalised bias we’ve seen before, the show reminds me of Andrew…
  • Cerys Bradley: On Road Signs WIP
    ★★★★ “I’m a vibes-based autistic”, warns Cerys Bradley at the top of their new work-in-progress show, On Road Signs. And whilst you perhaps shouldn’t expect a slew of accurately remembered facts, you can expect impeccable vibes. The show is a deep dive into the world of road signage, from the autistic online communities documenting them,…
