The Unhelpful Therapist: Solve your problems badly

Join former newspaper columnist David Crisante in this wild show where advice-giving takes a misguided turn.

As an unqualified therapist*, David will explore solutions to some of life's toughest challenges.

Does your partner stack the dishwasher like a raccoon on meth?  

Does your housemate invite their dates over waaaaay too frequently?  

Does your colleague eat your lunch out of the communal work fridge? (gross!)

During this show that is part stand-up, part crowd interaction, you'll be encouraged to share your problems so that David can help.  Badly.  Very badly.  

During the show David will draw on his real-life experience in journalism, diplomacy and neuroscience - and blend them with humour.

*His mum is NOT a well-known therapist and this show is definitely NOT about his mummy issues.
