The world's gone mad! Now it's time for the crazy ones to lead the way. Join award-winning ‘crazy’ comedian Juliette Burton (ambassador for Rethink Mental Illness) for her most experimental show yet. Is it crazy to be sane? This "Fringe favourite" (The Guardian) and "fringe legend" (FringeReview) knows "crazy" - she's been sectioned under the mental health act. Can being an outcast cast light on what needs to change? With costumes created by outreach workshops, input from surveys of marginalised communities, original music by those with mental illness and over a year of complex research coming together… is this work in progress crazy progressive? Inspired by the communities who contributed to this production by sharing and amplifying diverse voices (including Midlands workshops - thanks to NHS Trust, Speakers Collective and Scope). Edinburgh Fringe Sold Out Run 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 & 2023 (previous shows). Supported by Arts Council England.
