Orwell Prize-winning author, BAFTA and RTS-winning documentary maker, and former BBC Reith Lecturer Darren McGarvey takes his acclaimed Fringe show Trauma Industrial Complex: The Live Show on tour.
An entertaining multi-media exploration of trauma, class, and the modern culture of oversharing, the show blends comedy, spoken word, and social commentary in McGarveys unmistakable voice bold, compassionate, and unflinchingly honest.
Praised as brilliant and thought-provoking (Nicola Sturgeon), uncompromising in his message (Spectator), and truly courageous, sincere, and difficult (The Herald), McGarvey invites audiences to look deeper at the ways personal pain becomes public performance and what it really costs.
With wit, insight and empathy, Trauma Industrial Complex: The Live Show will resonate with anyone interested in the intersection of storytelling, wellbeing, and social change.
