A tragically funny true story about life through the chaos of addiction and the gift of sobriety!
TRAUMEDY: A Guide To Being A Fabulous Homeless Addict is Iain Anderson's powerful and poignant debut solo show, a true story charting a tumultuous journey from the vibrant Glasgow gay scene through the harsh realities of homelessness on the streets of Barcelona, a challenging stay in a psychiatric ward, and ultimately towards recovery.
Told with Iain's unique blend of raw honesty and sharp wit, this tragic yet hilarious account delves into overcoming personal demons and discovering the true meaning of happiness.
Following a successful and acclaimed tour across the UK & Europe in 2025, he has extended the tour through 2026 to go even further than last year having already hit 31 cities across 15 countries with the show!
