Howie Mandel

ADHD is one of the most commonly diagnosed-and widely misunderstood-neurological conditions in the world today, affecting nearly 10% of kids and a rising number of adults. But what if having an ADHD brain is actually an asset? The Disruptors hears from many game-changing people about their ADHD.

After a two-decade hiatus from the comedy circuit, Howie Mandel makes his return stand-up performance debut at the Hard Rock Hotel in Atlantic City.

An all-star and award-winning cast, led by Oscar-nominee and Golden Globe-winner Lynn Redgrave ("Gods and Monsters," "Shine") and Emmy-nominated Delta Burke ("What Women Want," TV's "Designing Women"), brings this award-winning adaptation to the screen of the classic Brothers Grimm fairytale. When their beloved father leaves home for the city, Hansel & Gretel's scheming stepmother (Burke) leaves them in the magic forest, but they find help in the form of the Sandman (Howie Mandel TV's "Spinning Out of Control," "Howie"), a Wood Faerie, a Forest Troll (Bobcat Goldthwait "Scrooged," "Police Academy 2 - 4"), the Boogeyman (Tom Arnold "Exit Wounds," "True Lies"), a street-wise Raven (Sinbad "Good Burger," "Jingle All The Way") and a Wicked Witch (Redgrave) who really likes kids - as her main course!

It's a family thing! Fred Savage's real-life brother Ben played his little brother in the movie. Their sister, Kala, also has a small role. Daniel Stern, who played Fred's dad in the movie, did the voiceover for adult Fred on "The Wonder Years."

Tom Canboro is a police detective with a Christian sister, Eileen; a brother, Calvin; a wife, Susan; and an eccentric brother-in-law, Jason. One night, Jason seemingly goes insane and tries to kill Eileen, calling her a "hater". Tom realizes this may be a conspiracy going as far as devil worship, but as he speeds in his car to get help, he suddenly loses control and crashes.

With breathtaking emotional honesty, this tender, funny, and powerful portrait of transgender comedian Julia Scotti explores the unrelenting courage and humor it takes to be Julia. In the comedy boom of the1980’s Rick Scotti was a busy guy—appearing in clubs across the country, on bills with Chris Rock and Jerry Seinfeld, when he came to the deadly realization that nothing felt right. At a time when the words gender dysphoria and gender reassignment surgery were rarely heard, Rick’s true awakening at age forty-seven led to a new identity as Julia Scotti. And then everyone turned away—former wives, friends, family, comedy world buddies, and most painfully Julia was shut out from any contact with her children. She reinvented herself, spent a decade teaching, and then several years ago, stepped back on stage and began her journey back to the world she loves, and her children reached out to her after 15 years of silence. Shot over a period of five years, the film tracks Julia’s triumphant comeback and the complex process of reuniting with her children, as comedy becomes the shared language of identity, healing, and joy.
