About Lymphomaniac
Lymphomaniac is a theatre and dark comedy show in which Megan shares a raw, honest and humorous account of life during and after cancer. Diagnosed with stage 3 Hodgkin's lymphoma at 22, she uses vulnerability and comedy to bring audiences into the often unspoken realities of her experience – not just battling cancer, but navigating the lasting mental health challenges that followed. Running 60 minutes at Just Up the Road, the show uses humour as a bridge to open conversations about emotional struggles sparked by illness or by life itself. For audiences aged 16 and over.
Why see this show?
A 60-minute show that uses dark comedy to tell a genuinely personal story about cancer, mental health and what comes after. Honest and human rather than heavy, it opens conversations that are rarely given space on stage.
