About this Event
Byron Bowers is an actor, stand-up comedian, writer and producer who can currently be seen in the Apple TV+ limited series LADY IN THE LAKE alongside Natalie Portman and Moses Ingram. He also served as a consulting producer on the project.
In 2022, he released his debut comedy special SPIRITUAL N***A on FX/Hulu, directed by Har’el. In this deeply intimate hour, Bowers talks about the stigma of mental health, how tripping on psychedelic mushrooms made him understand his schizophrenic father, and how it altered the way he feels about his blackness.
