Steve Whiteley: A Mind Full

Steve WhiteleyProfessional company

60 minutesBasement
A Mind Full is the story of one man's healing journey, from chasing dopamine and dreams to moving into a Buddhist community and trying (badly) to meditate. Blending stand-up, storytelling and theatrical moments, A Mind Full explores what happens when a wide boy with ADHD and impulse issues goes full mindfulness. Along the way: spiritual bypassing, compulsive behaviour and the ongoing tension between craving peace and needing the spotlight. A raw, funny and painfully relatable look at what happens when you try to heal... and your brain has other plans.

About Steve Whiteley

A Mind Full is Steve Whiteley's autobiographical account of chasing dopamine and dreams before moving into a Buddhist community and attempting, badly, to meditate. Blending stand-up, storytelling and theatrical moments, the show explores what happens when a wide boy with ADHD and impulse issues goes full mindfulness. Topics include spiritual bypassing, compulsive behaviour and the ongoing tension between craving peace and needing the spotlight. A raw, funny and painfully relatable look at what happens when you try to heal and your brain has other plans.

Why see this show?

Honest about its own contradictions, A Mind Full finds comedy in the gap between wanting to be calm and being constitutionally incapable of it. Steve Whiteley's self-aware storytelling makes for 60 minutes that are as funny as they are recognisable.
