Shaparak Khorsandi – Neurodiversity, Names & Gonzo

What’s in a name? A lot as it turns out, as the artist formerly known as Shappi casts quite the magical spell at her dream festival. There’s talk of how a recent ADHD diagnosis has proved a positive game-changer, her mum’s dill rice, and the PTSD she still feels after fleeing from terror threats as a child in Iran. Her choices on this fantasy stage range from childhood comedy heroes, to mercurial kings of the stadium (one music, one comedy), and a chart-topping icon who’s also there to look after her kids.
