This is NOT a show about mental health. In fact, this is NOT a show. THIS is a disorder.
We’re just joking. We’re HALF joking. We’re BORDERLINE joking.
Have we rehearsed it? Possibly.
Have we written it? It depends.
Is there a script? Unclear.
But it is a comedy, right? A comedy about severe mental illness?! Who would do such a thing?!
You. You psychopath. Fair enough.
So it’s a PLAY? No it’s not a f*cking play. F*ck off.
That's Not My Name is 75 minutes of complete carnage in the form of stand-up, sketch and musical comedy speaking to the insanity of Psychiatry, labels and our mental health system.
Written & Performed by Sammy Trotman Created by Covered in Jam Produced by ASYLUM Arts Associate Produced by Brightmouth Productions Directed by Jake Rix Light and Sound by Scott Ward
Reviews
A masterpiece of mess

A masterclass in storytelling and character performance
- Lost in Theatreland, ★★★★★
‘That’s Not my Name’ invites one to leave our labels and diagnosis at the door and truly listen to how one person chooses to show up for themselves again and again each day.
