Jorge Moreira’s autobiographical solo comedy looks back at his struggle with Attention Deficit Disorder from growing up in a Portuguese family in Toronto in the 70s to his experiences in school and later in the workplace at a call center.
Moreira is very brave to speak publicly about his experiences, and the show includes many intriguing skits that attempt to find humour in the everyday challenges he faces. But he isn’t a natural performer, and at times muddled pacing and flubbed lines distracts from the impact of the material.
