Biography
Asperger’s Are Us formed on the North shore of Massachusetts in the summer of 2010 after New Michael Ingemi, Jack Hanke, and Ethan Finlan graduated from a summer camp where Noah Britton was their counselor.
They have performed original sketch comedy shows in many cities in Massachusetts and have toured the US, and have been interviewed several times by both local and national press.
They have used their interviews and performances as an opportunity for autism-rights activism, saying they believe strongly in the positive aspects of Asperger syndrome, though they have also said they would “much rather (the audience) appreciate us as comedians than as people who've overcome adversity."
A Duplass Brothers Productions documentary about the troupe was released on Netflix in late 2016.
