Country Mile Productions • Professional company
About the show
Rachel Kaly's debut Fringe show returns, presented by Country Mile Productions. Rachel has been to hospital over 300 times for various psychological treatments, and this show explores the question of whether that is connected to other pivotal moments in her life. Blending stand-up, storytelling and comedy, she sets out to explain why she is so mentally ill. The show contains distressing or potentially triggering themes including discussion of mental ill health. Age guidance is 16 and over.
Why see this show?
A sharp, darkly comic hour that turns genuine personal experience into something unexpectedly funny and moving. If bleak black-comedy told with real candour appeals, this is the show for you.
