Mayor's Variety Show Teaser

A varied evening raising money for the Mayor of Colchester's chosen charities.

The theme for this year focuses on health, happiness and well-being, with this particular event kicking off with a brilliant theatre performance by a talented PDA artist – Nix. She has designed her own show, featuring theatrical performances and inspiring songs, which are guaranteed to give you the chills.

The PDA Play is a one-person, multi-media musical blending movement, parody, dark comedy, poetry, and audience karaoke to explore life with Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA), an often-misunderstood nervous system disability. Based on lived experience and community stories, it’s an unfiltered journey through burnout, joy, and transformation—raising awareness, demanding change, and celebrating neurodivergent authenticity.
