'If you love taking the mickey out of pompous buffoons, you will love this show.' - Natalie Bochenski on 'The Great Grandiosa'

The Great Grandiosa is a comedy spoof on the larger-than-life world of psychics, mystics, and other grifters. The Great Grandiosa believes she can offer spiritual succour, fortune telling and wisdom from the Other Worlds.

"This is no 'Hallmark' magic show. This is a frank, raw portrayal of my life with Autism."

Autis-tricks is a magic show that uses the medium of magic tricks to talk about autism and my life experience.

This is a frank, raw portrayal of my life with Autism. Although like in all magic shows I will lie to you; this show will be my truth.
