Dr. Kojo Sarfo is a stand-up comedian, content creator and author who turned his own late ADHD diagnosis into some of the most shared mental health comedy online. His sketches about ADHD, autism and AuDHD reach more than 7 million followers and drew more than 2 billion views in 2025.

A Ghanaian-American who started school in an ESL program, Kojo earned a Doctor of Nursing Practice at Augusta University and worked for years in psychiatric hospitals before moving to Los Angeles to create full time. He has appeared on Netflix’s John Mulaney Presents: Everybody’s in L.A., NBC’s TODAY and ABC7, and he is headlining comedy clubs on The Big Neurodivergent Comedy World Tour.

Dr. Kojo Sarfo opens his stand-up shows with a roll call: “Where my ADHD people at? Where my autistic people at?” Then he raises his own hand.

Kojo is a Los Angeles comedian, content creator and author whose work sits where mental health meets entertainment. His videos about ADHD, autism and AuDHD, including his “Autism vs ADHD vs AuDHD” sketch series, reach more than 7 million followers across TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Threads and Snapchat, and drew more than 2 billion views in 2025.

His road to comedy was not a straight line. The Ghanaian-American started school in an ESL program, worked twice as hard to be an average student, and went on to earn a Doctor of Nursing Practice at Augusta University, where he later taught as adjunct faculty. He spent years working in psychiatric hospitals. In grad school, he found out he had ADHD himself. “I lead with my story,” he says, “because we heal and learn as a community.”

He has appeared on Netflix’s John Mulaney Presents: Everybody’s in L.A., NBC’s TODAY show and ABC7 Los Angeles, and has been featured by The Washington Post, TIME, the Los Angeles Times, Cosmopolitan and BuzzFeed. He spoke on the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ mental health panel for the 95th Oscars and was selected by the White House as one of its healthcare leaders on social media. He is the author of Feeling Good! A Mental Health Workbook (Adams Media, Simon & Schuster) and You Already Won, and hosts The Neurodivergent Struggles Show podcast.

Kojo is currently headlining comedy clubs across the country on The Big Neurodivergent Comedy World Tour. He is a doctorally prepared psychiatric nurse practitioner (DNP); his comedy is entertainment, not medical advice.
