“LADY ADHD”: Observations from a Hyperfocused Mind
“LADY ADHD” leaps from the perpetual-motion mind of comedian, quirky genius, and overall rather loud person, Blaire Postman.
Part Stand Up, part Ted Talk, the show is an unexpected, high-energy tour of her neurodivergent brain, her signature flip-chart stand-up comedy pieces, and unexpected clarity she’s received about the world and herself where they overlap.
Imagine if all the open tabs on your computer from a weekend of spiraling down Wikipedia rabbit holes were then woven into a cogent and brutally funny theory about the brain, art, Americana, the boxes we try to force ourselves and others into, and the humor and self-appreciation that can help us break free of them.
On the heels of its packed January 2023 performance, and just in time to kick off ADHD Awareness month, “LADY ADHD” comes to Alchemy Comedy Theatre on Friday, October 20, 2023 and Saturday October 21, 2023 at 7PM.
Some of “LADY ADHD”’s accomplishments, notice & kudos include:
2023 Finalist, Yes And Laughter Lab (entertainment industry comedy incubator)
Official selection to be part of the 20th SF Sketchfest (2023)
Featured run at Caveat theater in New York (June-Sept 2022)
Guest on notable podcasts to discuss “LADY ADHD” and Blaire’s journey embracing her neurodiversity, including Slate Magazine’s “The Waves”; “Just Between Us” and “A Super Bloom with Candice King”
Selected as the closing event at the International ADHD Convention (Virtual Nov. 2021)
Blaire has been a stand-up comedian for nearly 10 years, and has a previous background in improv comedy. As a stand-up, she headlines indy clubs and alt rooms, and features for world-renown comedians in nationally branded clubs around the country.
She also performs regularly in New York at clubs and particularly in respected alt venues on shows such as “Butter Boy” at Littlefield and “Good God” at Union Hall; has been featured on “PBS NewsHour” and on podcasts for her stand-up including “The Jackie & Laurie Show” (named “Comic of the Week”), “The Dork Forest” and many more.
Her stand up landed her spots in comedy festivals including 10,000 Laughs (named “Best of the Fest”), SF Sketchfest, Asheville Comedy Festival, Limestone Comedy Festival and many more.
Also, cats.
Part stand-up, part TED Talk, Blaire Postman’s signature high-energy flip chart comedy show about her life with long-undiagnosed ADHD
Come celebrate ADHD Awareness month with this unique traveling solo comedy show. As one reviewer noted, “Imagine if all the open tabs on your computer from a weekend of spiraling down Wikipedia rabbit holes were then woven into a cogent and brutally funny theory about the brain, art, aging, Americana and The Self.”
Since its mid-pandemic debut in late 2021, “LADY ADHD” has toured cities around the U.S., is an official selection to be part of the 20th SF Sketchfest, has been featured on some of the hottest current podcasts, was the closing event at the 2021 International ADHD Convention, and had a run of shows at Caveat comedy theater in New York City.

The 10th annual New South Comedy Festival will feature 10 straight days of comedy with 21 stand-up, improv, sketch, and musical comedy shows with guests from across the country from November 2-11th!
This stand-up show features Zach Stephens, Matt Dieterich, Amber Ritchie, Melly Kazel, LizaBanks Campagna, Carol Johnson, & Kenneth Hughes
The host for this show will be local comic Chris Freeland.
Zach Stephens is a Greenville Native two years into stand up, and a deeply insecure man. This is his debut show for the New South Comedy Festival.
Matt Dieterich has been performing stand up comedy for the past four years throughout the Southeast. He coproduces M and M comedy and has performed in the Charleston Comedy Festival.
Amber Ritchie was raised in rural Alabama, somehow made it to Atlanta, GA where she began performing comedy — often described as real-world trauma mixed with southern charm. She creates/hosts a comedic mental health podcast called Checking-In: A Self Help Book Club. She performs all over the southeast and can’t wait to make you laugh.
Melly Kazel makes standup comedy a one-woman show. She is dedicated to bringing people together through laughter by sharing her most embarrassing moments on stage.
LizaBanks Campagna is a comedian and resident young person. At 23, she is a regular in the DC Comedy scene, performing at local clubs like HotBed Comedy Club and the D.C Improv. After getting on stage for the first time when she was 13, LizaBanks has been a stalwart in the DC Comedy Scene. She’s been featured in the Washington City Paper, Washington Post and even US Lacrosse Magazine, but that was for a different thing. LizaBanks just filmed her first half-hour special “23 and Me” that is set to be released on Youtube later this year.
Carol Johnson has been trying to run away from home, work and the voices in her head for years. Stand-up is the perfect place to hide. She has performed at Comic Strip Live NYC, Laughing Buddha Comedy Showcase with Janeane Garofalo, The Comedy Store La Jolla and Flappers Comedy Club to name a few. She performs regularly with Jimmy Shin. Recent highlights include opening for Andy Bumatai at Stand Up Honolulu and three Kenan Presents The Live Performance Showcase. Her one woman show I’m Free Range premiered at SOLOCOMNYC 2023 and she is currently the Goddess of Humor on LockDown Living Room Comedy Show!
After losing his vision, Kenneth E. Hughes found a new ambition in stand-up comedy. Now, he takes the stage with confidence, thanks to his four-legged straight man, a.k.a. guide dog, Buddy. He also runsmany local stand-up shows with his company 20/20 Productions.

Our festival performers will take the stage and either do a traditional stand-up set OR create an entirely off-the-cuff stand-up set based on a never-before-seen list of suggestions from the audience. It’s stand-up. It’s improv. It’s Stand-up Meets Improv and it’s hilarious. Note: Since each show features a guest comic, we recommend this show for adults only.

He can be seen and heard weekly on his widely popular podcasts that garner millions of listens/views a month THIS PAST WEEKEND, and KING AND THE STING.

In the Spring of 2020 Theo completed his two-year DARK ARTS TOUR, which took him across America, Australia, and Europe, and another country. He’s currently on the road with his RETURN OF THE RAT TOUR.
