Is it possible to laugh at our OCD? A conversation with comedian and author Joe Wells
Show Notes

On this episode of The OCD Chronicles, I’m speaking to comedian and author Joe Wells.

Joe wrote the OCD memoir Touch and Go Joe when he was just a teenager, which was reissued with new artwork and a few tweaks here and there, just a few months ago. Joe’s also one of the UK comedy scene's brightest and boldest comedians. It’s a big ask, looking at your OCD – or many aspects of neurodiversity – and trying to laugh at the preposterous of it all. But – I dunno, maybe I’m feeling in a decent place at the moment – but I’ve increasingly found myself able to. Go on. Give it a go!  It's a wretched illness - but it's a stupid one too!

I do hope you enjoy my conversation with Joe!
