The show itself focuses on Kurup’s personal experience navigating the process of seeking a mental health diagnosis. She explores the dynamic of trying to convince a therapist that something is wrong, delivered through a style that has been noted for its cold and sarcastic approach. Kurup has a background in the comedy circuit, having been a finalist for the Channel 4 Sean Lock Award and a winner of the West End New Act of the Year. She has also appeared on platforms like the BBC, Comedy Central, and Channel 4, which gives some context to her work if you have seen her perform before.
Tickets for this performance are priced at £16.00. The event is restricted to those aged 16 and over, so keep that in mind if you are planning to attend with anyone younger. While the show has toured previously, including runs at the Edinburgh Fringe and the Park Theatre earlier this year, this specific date at Komedia is the one currently scheduled for Brighton. It is a straightforward comedy set in a familiar local venue, offering a chance to see a specific show that has been making the rounds on the circuit.
