Virtual Meet-the-Author: Michael McCreary

Author of Funny, You Don't Look Autistic

Ask questions of author Michael McCreary, author of Funny, you Don't Look Autistic: a comedian's guide to life on the spectrum (2019) in this virtual Meet-the-Author event.

Michael McCreary may only be twenty-two, but he’s already well on his way to fulfilling his lifelong, albeit short, dream of becoming a stand-up comedian.  The young comic, a high school grad from Orangeville, Ontario, was diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome at the age of five. In an act of self-preservation, combined with the desire for constant attention and the inability to stop talking, stand-up comedy seemed inevitable. Michael combined his love of comedy and his obsession with Hollywood movies and trained under David Granirer, founder of Stand Up for Mental Health, to create his act ”Does This Make My Asperger’s Look Big?” Over the past 7 years Michael has performed at conferences, galas, universities, bars and church basements across Canada and the United States. Ask Michael McCreary questions about his popular book, Funny, you Don't Look Autistic: a comedian's guide to life on the spectrum (2019). The MCPL has this item in its print collection and makes it available digital ebook on Hoopla. The MCPL also makes it available as a digital ebook and digital audiobook on Overdrive.
