🎤🧠 Guess what? My TEDx talk is LIVE! How Neurodivergent Comedy Will Improve the Future isn’t just a title—it’s a revolution. For everyone who’s ever been called too weird, too intense, or simply “too much”: For anyone feeling out of place—on stage, in the boardroom, or in the story—this one’s for you. We’re not just making jokes; we’re making history. Our humor matters. Our voices matter. And we’re not waiting for the future—we’re building it. ▶️ Watch the full talk in my bio. 💥 If this speaks to you, please share the love. Big thank you to @iris.bahr for performance coaching and everyone who took the time to watch a rehearsal and give me feedback. And thanks to @juhinagpal5 for believing in me and nominating me to do this for @tedrisd This is for my wonderful daughter who approved this talk and helped me remember the quotes she used to say. And thank you @mattjfoss for being such an inspiration and bringing me on @lonewolvesfilm ❤️ #NeurodivergentAndProud #TEDx #ComedyAsActivism #DisabilityJustice #NeurodivergentVoices #RepresentationMatters #WeBelongHere #autismacceptence #adhdacceptance @risd1877 @risdalumni #risdalumni @risdfav @goldcomedy

Spectacular Saturday

High recommend for @brooklynbotanic this weekend 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌷🌷🌷🌷- she’s showing off

I’m returning to @sohoplayhousenyc May 20-23! Ticket link in bio! Directed by @ryanecunningham Produced by @amyyboland Photo by @photojuice Following her critically acclaimed run in the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Joe’s Pub, and SoHo Playhouse, NYC-based comedian Maria DeCotis returns to SoHo Playhouse with The Power Vested in Me. Drawing from her real-life experience as a professional wedding officiant, DeCotis delivers an hour of stand-up and musical comedy about the performance of happiness, the institution of marriage, and the power dynamics embedded in modern romance. With razor-sharp wit, original music, and fearless storytelling, she examines gender, societal expectations, fembots, turning 30, and her unique perspective on legalizing love. During her wildly successful Edinburgh Fringe run, she was featured in Playbill and The Scotsman said, “DeCotis is the best new American stand-up I’ve seen since Michelle Wolf. Do whatever you can to see her because the next chance you get she’ll be starring in her own Netflix special.” Her show was named one of the top Edinburgh Fringe Shows by EuroNews, nominated for the Off West End Award and received a number of outstanding reviews! #standup #funnyvideo #funnyclips #comedy #funnyreel
