COMEDY

A Mind Full

From dopamine to dharma. A solo storytelling show about ADHD, breathwork and buddhism.

This work in progress show is the story of Steve Whiteley's healing journey, from chasing laughs and dopamine hits to moving into a Buddhist community and trying (badly) to meditate.

Blending stand-up, storytelling and an immersive sound design, A Mind Full explores what happens when a wide boy with impulse issues goes full mindfulness. Along the way: spiritual bypassing, compulsive behaviour and the ongoing tension between craving peace and needing the spotlight.

A raw, funny and painfully relatable look at what happens when you try to heal and your brain has other plans.

“If you don't laugh in Whiteley's company, there's little hope for you.” Broadway Baby.
"Steve cuts a very engaging figure on stage, with first-rate comic timing, some fun callbacks, and excellent self-deprecating asides.” Chris Sparkle.
“Steve is a striking presence on stage, with a dry, deadpan delivery. There's an honesty and a vulnerability that gives the piece real heart.” Roviews.
