Run Time: 80 minutes, no intermission

In 2021, Sydney comedian Sam Kissajukian decided to quit standup, rent an abandoned cake factory, and become a painter. Over the course of a six-month manic episode, he created 300 large-scale paintings, unknowingly documenting his mental state through the process. In this hilarious, fascinating, and wildly original show, Kissajukian brings audiences on a rollercoaster ride that explores the ties between art, mental health, and creativity. Each performance includes post-show access to an art exhibit featuring Kissajukian and his works.

“Beautifully frank.” (The New Yorker)

“A whimsical delight!” (The New York Times)
