Best selling author, comic and psychiatrist Dr Benji Waterhouse has announced a tour based around his book ‘You Don’t Have to Be Mad Work Here.

Waterhouse brings a comic perspective to psychiatric illness and treatment – sharing stories from behind the scenes and revealing the answers to some of life’s big questions.

He says: ” The show will be a combination of stand-up, storytelling and chapter readings followed by a Q&A which is probably your best chance to speak to an NHS psychiatrist, without the 12-month waiting list.”

Dr Benji Waterhouse is a front-line NHS doctor specialising in psychiatry based in London. He is also an award-winning stand-up comedian who performs sell-out shows at the Edinburgh Fringe. He has written for the Guardian and Independent and was included in a list of ‘Inspiring Psychiatrists’ by the Royal College of Psychiatrists. He has a special interest in psychedelic research and worked on the ground-breaking study featured in the BBC documentary ‘The Psychedelic Drug Trial’. You Don’t Have to Be Mad to Work Here was acquired by Penguin in a nine-way with the TV rights already sold to the BBC Studio’s owned House Productions.

As a comedian he made a splash in 2014 winning Beat the Frog World Series when he was also a finalist in So You Think You’re Funny, Leicester Square New Act and he has twice been shortlisted for the BBC New Comedy Award. He is also a resident host for the international storytelling night The Moth in London.

The tour begins on May 10 at Leicester The Big Difference.
