Funny, You Don’t Look Autistic is a theatrical adaptation of Michael’s autobiographical book of the same name, published in 2019 by Annick Press. The show blends Michael’s trademark deadpan delivery with Green Thumb’s history for bringing socially conscious theatre to the stage. The show will touch audiences deeply, while making them laugh out loud. Michael’s story is one of challenge, growth, and ultimately triumph.

“McCreary recounts his journey to his dream of becoming a professional comedian, including triumphs and humiliations, family, teachers, friends, and enemies, all in a wry, self-deprecating voice peppered with innumerable pop-culture references and relentless optimism.”

“Very much enjoyed the show! McCreary got us laughing from the outset, and then carried us through the entire range of emotions. Very funny, and blew open the curtains on what it’s like to be an autistic person. Humour makes all kinds of experiences relatable!”

“I see a lot of comedy and I used to work in theatre and I will say that is probably the best show I’ve seen in a decade!”

"Michael struck a note with the audience and we had great feedback. The show was entertaining, inspiring, and refreshing! You truly helped us at OPL fulfill our mission to transform lives. On a personal level, his show and book taught me quite a bit about autism, which will allow me to be more empathetic with those I encounter. I look forward to continuing to follow Michael’s great successes!"
