Gordon Southern: That Boy Needs Therapy
A jaw-dropping true story that may even save your life
As seen on ABC's Comedy Up Late.
Objectively this endless summer seems idyllic, but sometimes we all need a little help. Professional help. But what if your therapists had issues of their own?
This barely credible, unique tale has startled and amazed around the world. A reboot and update of the show 'A Man for Two Seasons' developed over Adelaide, Edinburgh and Melbourne festivals in the last two years, now with further startling revelations!
Southern shares his secrets of weather, fame and therapy, with ruminations on colour, light and life that will leave you breathless. Come laugh through your fingers.
