About this Event
"John describes a euphoric manic episode with incredible detail and insight, pulling the listener into his globetrotting quest and the characters he meets along the way. You will root for him, you will laugh (often to the point of tears) and you will come away with a new understanding of bipolar disorder and appreciation for the human condition." - Dr. Kat Nordgren, Psychiatrist, Bellevue Hospital
"The audience effortlessly laughed along with O’Donnell, and his expert comedic timing almost obscured the fact that it takes tremendous vulnerability to speak about such a stigmatized illness publicly." - Paste Magazine
John F. O'Donnell (Comedy Central, NY Times, NAMI) is an accomplished, national headlining comedian with over 20 years of experience. He's also struggled with bipolar 1 disorder for just as long. In his hilarious and heartfelt one man show, "I'M ON LITHIUM," John recounts a wild manic episode he went through back in 2008 in Dublin, Ireland. It's an amazing whirlwind of a story that is equal parts funny, vulnerable, insightful and, ultimately, redemptive. John is proud to present this work as the next chapter in his longtime continued efforts to use comedy to destigmatize mental illness.
