“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.
As part of the medical school’s reunion weekend, five alumni and faculty will tell their own local legends (true stories) to inspire this fully improvised show. Fifty percent of the proceeds benefit student support needs at USCSOM Greenville.

Part stand-up, part TED Talk, Blaire Postman’s signature high-energy flip chart comedy show about her life with long-undiagnosed ADHD

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.

No roles have been pre-cast unless otherwise specifically stated in the audition notice. Youth of all ethnicities and backgrounds are encouraged to audition.
ETIQUETTE:

-
Make sure to wear clothes and shoes that are comfortable to move around in. SYT discourages actors from “dressing up” for the part they desire. Actors should wear clothes that they feel comfortable in and that show their own personality and style.
PREPARATION:
Plays:
-
Actors are required to prepare a 1 minute monologue for the audition.
-
Actors should choose a monologue that shows off strong acting choices, clear diction and volume, and that is age-appropriate.

Memorization of your monologue is highly encouraged.
-
If you do not have a monologue, one will be provided for you at the audition. Monologues are available ahead of time, one month prior to auditions, at the Spartanburg Youth Theatre offices in the kiosk at the end of the hallway when you walk down the stairs to our area. You may use one of these monologues, or you may use one of your own choosing.

Bring your schedule to fill-in all of your potential rehearsal conflicts on the audition form – conflicts may NOT be added after casting!

Singing a song from the specific show you’re auditioning for is discouraged. We prefer to hear your own style and range in a song you’re comfortable with from any show other than the one you’re auditioning for. Callbacks are when we’ll be able to hear you sing songs from the show.
-
If you do not have a song, one will be provided for you at the audition.

CALLBACKS: If necessary, the director may hold callbacks to see certain actors again before casting the show. If callbacks are necessary, they are typically held the Saturday following auditions, however callbacks are subject to change depending on actor and director availability. If an actor is unable to attend callbacks, we MAY be able to accommodate a separate callback date, but we cannot guarantee it. If called back, contact us and we will see what we can do.

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.
