Description

A fly-on-the-padded-wall account of the mental health world that also busts some myths (there are no padded walls). What's the secret to happiness? What's the best way to escape from a mental health hospital? And what's the difference between a psychiatrist, a psychologist and a psychic? Debut show from NHS psychiatrist, award-winning comedian and Penguin-published author Benji Waterstones. Twice nominated for the BBC New Comedy Award. 'Perfect and hilarious' (BuzzFeed.com). Directed by Edinburgh Comedy Award-winner Jordan Brookes.
