TRAUMEDY: A Guide To Being A Fabulous Homeless Addict

Iain Anderson's debut solo show, is a true story about life through addiction to sobriety. From being young and dumb on the Glasgow gay scene, through homelessness on the streets of Barcelona, to being committed to a psych ward and then landing in recovery. A tragic yet hilarious true story about overcoming demons and finding the real meaning of what it takes to be happy. This show is the true account of Iain's journey through addiction, mental health struggles and homelessness to recovery — all told in his own unique style. He has been touring this show all over Europe with one reviewer saying "Iain Anderson is crucially the charmingly quick-witted fix that the standup scene is missing". Come and laugh, cry and be inspired by this unbelievable story.
