SHOW SYNOPSIS & details
as submitted by the artist(s)
Mental Illness and Friends, created and hosted by Deena Nyer Mendlowitz, is a live comedy talk-show combining stand-up, improv, and open, honest dialogue with other artists dealing with mental health issues.
Nyer Mendlowitz, who lives with depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation, begins each performance with a new opening monologue, seamlessly weaving mental illness, real life, and laughter together.
Each month she invites other comedians, improv artists, actors, and often a musical guest to perform and share a bit of their own mental health history.
The hour-long show closes with an improv set based on topics discussed that evening. The results are hilarious, honest, enlightening, empowering, inspiring and leave both the performers and audience feeling a little more connected and understood.
