The Best Of Us - A Show in 3 Parts

Stephen Garland presents ‘The Best Of Us’ – A show in 3 parts

International comedy promoter Stephen Garland, Garland is responsible for most things involving professional English comedy in Spain since he produced the very first show in 2004.

Affable Irishman Garland has performed, presented and produced over a couple of decades in Spain and elsewhere, even finding time to establish Rio’s only English language entertainment night, Rio Night Live in 2014.

PART 1. 30 Minutes – The Post Disposed (EdFringe Show Updated)

30 minutes of comedy storytelling that frames the long trip from North East Brazil, via Rio, Madrid, Barcelona, Edinburgh, Longford to finally reach Moscow and the non FDA approved treatment that offered the only hope for his ‘No Treatment No Cure’ diagnosis. The very best comics in the world from Izzard to Dylan Moran feature in this story.

A Russian Doctor and his HSCT Stem Cell therapy managed to stop the ‘progress’ and despite been told “I was 6 months away from a wheelchair”… 6 years later this miracle of integrative medicine is actually able to ‘stick’ his way and is seeking to become a candidate for Midlands North West MEP this June 6!

This updated audio-visual comic retelling of a story framing the positive attitude that made light of adversity and with a background that allowed him to find the funny in conquering a very shitty deal.

The Post-Disposed is a show that promises to enlighten and inspire as much as it will entertain.

PART 2. 30 mins – Canna We Talk Now? Live Podcast

In 2021 Stephen created a long-form Youtube Channel Podcast “Canna We Talk Now?

This project has allowed previously unheard voices to share their experiences, despite the necessity for some to conceal their identities due to societal stigma and fear of criminalisation. One Fibromyalgia patient can be reluctantly seen in a Balaclava!

The podcast seeks only to educate and amongst its 30 odd episodes to date it has featured some of the most famous patients and prescribers in the world, from Alison Myrden the patient largely responsible for Canadian Legalisation and also the amazing Dr Joe Rosado from Miami who infamously treated the late Abigail Mc Quillen RIP through palliative care to her final peaceful passing.

Stephen has emerged as one of Ireland’s leading Cannabis activist voices and for this series of Live Podcasts to complement this show he will be joined by some really incredible guests who will only be announced in the week of the performance on his #Garland4Europe social channels!

Part 3. 20 mins – A.M.A. - Ask Me Anything Town Hall Stylee!

A.M.A. This will really be just a wrap of the show and we can expect that Stephen and his ‘CWTN’ guest will take questions from the floor regarding all the topics dealt with.

It promises to be a night filled with educational value in a safe space where people can share.

There is also an over riding theme of Peace. The amazing Dr. Fedorenko is a Russian who’s family all hail from Kyiv in the Ukraine. Dr. F as his patients know him and his amazing team at the Pirogov Hospital change the lives of people from all over the world without judgement every week, including 28 Irish patients to date!

War is the failure of politics and it is the poor young people of the Ukraine and Russia who are dying in their millions in Ukraine while the living have their futures denied.

All of the humanity involved in this show through the 3 parts represent the ‘Best Of Us’ and that is the positive message we hope you will leave with.
