About this Event
Dr Benji Waterhouse - UK Book Tour
NHS psychiatrist, award-winning comedian and Sunday Times best-selling author of ‘You Don’t Have To Be Mad To Work Here’, Dr Benji Waterhouse is going on his first book tour! ‘You Don’t Have To Be Mad To Work Here’, was released via Vintage/Penguin in May to much critical acclaim. The tour takes in 10 dates and will be at The Glee Club in Birmingham on 25th May.
“The response to my book has been very surreal. From being No.2 in The Sunday Times best-seller list to being enjoyed by national treasures like Jo Brand. But most special has been the response from patients who have said things like “Dr Waterhouse should you really be using full names, date of births and NHS numbers?” Joking aside, it’s been incredible and I can’t wait to connect with readers in person on my first tour. 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
Combining his stand-up skills, storytelling and anecdotal chapter readings, Dr Benji unlocks the doors to the psych ward and answers life’s big questions. What’s the secret to happiness? What’s the best way to escape from a psychiatric hospital? And what is the difference between a psychiatrist, a psychologist and a psychic?
