You’ve heard it all before:
Oh, you’ve got OCD? So, you wash your hands a lot?
You flick light switches on and off?
You’re like Monk?
…Well, no.
Like many invisible illnesses, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder is widely misunderstood and misrepresented. It’s the punchline to many a joke, but the reality for sufferers is much more complex and – honestly? – shit. After 30 years hiding out in the trenches of the OCD war, writer-performer Bianca Butler Reynolds is going public. Part (unofficial) TED Talk, part sketch show, part cabaret, Oh Crap Dammit: My Life With Six Kinds of OCD is a raw, funny and heartfelt exposé of OCD from the inside out.
This show is recommended for mature audiences (15+).
