About Lance Mao
Lance Mao is an Asian immigrant with OCD who describes himself as losing a battle with his brain. Born in Hungary and living in Britain, life as a perpetual foreigner has cost him his sanity. His 60-minute stand-up set at Hoot 3 is a dark confessional hour about racism, mental health, fear and embracing your crazy — exploring what happens when you let your intrusive thoughts run wild. Suitable for audiences aged 16 and over.
Why see this show?
A confessional hour that is genuinely dark — OCD, racism, the perpetual foreigner experience — told with the kind of self-aware absurdity that makes difficult things bearable. Honest stand-up from a singular perspective.
