Since his autism diagnosis, Keating has realised that while his short-circuiting brain can trip him up, it is also the source of his clever, funny one-liners.
Reflecting on his neurodivergent condition, Keating cannot help but see the funny side.
"I was diagnosed aged 46, so I’m glad they caught it early," he said in a statement.
He will treat Dunedin audiences to his "quick, intelligent rapier wit" for three nights in his "Autistic Flair" shows.
