Psychotic Break

“Mental illness isn’t funny, but some mentally ill people are…”

PSYCHOTIC BREAK is Chicago’s premier mental illness-themed variety show. Shocking and hilarious, Psychotic Break features candid stories, music, and comedy about addiction, compulsion, anxiety, the infinite depths of depression, hallucination, and more. Is the show serious? Sometimes. Is the show funny? Usually! Don’t worry, you don’t need a formal diagnosis to attend—the show is for everyone.

Psychotic Break is produced by Jenn Sodini (The First Time from CHIRP Radio), Dan Shapiro (stand-up comedian), and Mason Johnson (Movie Club Chicago).
