John Scott's
gig on his mental health doubled up as a showcase for students of his stand up
course. Each night involves several comedians new to comedy, some doing their
very first gigs. They were impressively cohesive and funny, and if you hadn’t been told it was their first
time doing stand up you might not even know it.
John Scott briefly MCed the
acts before coming himself in the second half to do his one hour show (which featured at Edinburgh Festival last year).
It was a witty, clever,
political and very polished performance. He delved into his mental health
history with a great deal of tact and really gave the audience an insight into
having a mental health condition His own condition is bipolar disorder type
one, a diagnosis I share, so I can highly relate to the things he was talking
about, such as hypomania, feeling like you are Jesus and self harming thoughts.
I thoroughly recommend this show if you're in need of a good belly laugh and have ever wanted to know more about what it's like to suffer with a mental health
condition.
Playing Thursday and Friday this week at 9pm.
