Benji Waterhouse: Madsplaining (WIP)
06-17 AUG - 18:25
NHS psychiatrist, award-winning comedian and
best-selling author Dr Benji reveals the weird and wonderful history of
mental illness, and his profession's, long, proud history of often making
things worse. Think straitjackets, Sigmund Freud and performing lobotomies
without an anaesthetic – and sometimes, a medical degree. And crucially:
are we any better at treating madness in 2026? 'Funny without turning
patients into punchlines' ***** (Telegraph). 'Humane, hilarious and
eye-opening' (Guardian). 'The Adam Kay of mental health care' (Times).
