Comedian Shaparak Khorsandi is at The Haymarket with her new show Scatterbrain. Having reassessed her life through the prism of an ADHD diagnosis, one of Britain's most beloved and most scatterbrained stand-ups lets you back into her mind (warning: it's cluttered in there). 

The diagnosis has helped Shaparak make sense of many aspects of her behaviour and personality, as movingly chronicled in her warmly-received book Scatterbrain. In this national tour of the same name, the woman who deserves the tag of national treasure uses her newly liberated mind as a springboard for a comedic rollercoaster ride.

 Among other things, this show will be a love-letter to letter-writing, a trip back through her early years as a comic and woman-about-town, and a whirlwind tour of a chaotic, hilarious brain.

 Shaparak is a hugely loved performer and writer, a British Comedy Award nominee, an I’m A Celebrity contestant, author of fiction and non-fiction, star of Live At The Apollo and multiple radio shows, and many more things besides.
