Description
Comedian Nick Pupo explores his turbulent relationship with drugs with clever wit and dark sincerity. 14 years clean of opiates, Nick reflects on his past; choices he made, promises he broke. Is he a bad person? A bad friend? Does he deserve forgiveness? Addiction is a delicate subject, and Nick deftly tows the line between addiction and identity as he asks himself questions with equal parts hilarity and desperation. If he did drugs for years but quit on his own, does that make him a recovering addict? Or does that make him just a curious guy?Please note that while all media gallery content is provided by verified members of the event, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society does not review or approve this content before it is posted.

Nick Pupo's show Addicted is what every stand-up comedian wishes their pivot to a solo show could be. It's hilarious, raw, and beautiful. Every person mentioned feels like someone you know. Every situation described feels like a place you've been. Go see this show today.

What a wonderfully crafted, clever, moving and witty show. For a show to deliver such vulnerability, intensity and humour all together was incredible. I was captivated for the entire 60 minutes as we were brought on a journey through some very dark moments that were pieced together beautifully.
Amazing performer - great laughs peppered into a dark and moving story.

Nick is a masterful storyteller, I’ve never been so fully invested in an autobiographical story from a performer. His humor effortlessly interweaves with heavy topics. My only complaint is that this show isn’t a movie that I can bring home to show my friends.

Nick delivers a strong performance about friendship, addiction, and forgiveness. I don’t want to give too much away as I highly recommend that folks go see this! Funny and poignant! Hilarious and heartfelt!
I loved the correlation between his annoyance of of someone sharing about their ever worsening addiction and then told a similar personal story. Just when you thought he might get clean…well you need to go see it. As someone who is clean and sober over 30 years my heart was moved. We all deserve some forgiveness.
