The Funny Thing About A Panic Attack
Solo Show · ben kassoy · Ages 12+ · 1hr · United States of America

Award-winning writer Ben Kassoy brings poems from his spectacularly original book to life in this genre-defying solo show, which audiences celebrated as "impactful," "magical," "hilarious," and "incredible" at its sold-out preview in New York. Bursting with humor, heart, and defiant wonder in the face of anxiety, The Funny Thing About A Panic Attack uses physical theater, dance, and poetry to reveal the connections between mental health, art…and pancakes.

Making its world premiere at The Hollywood Fringe Festival before taking the stage at Edinburgh Fringe in August, The Funny Thing About A Panic Attack opens a timely, courageous conversation about mental health, stigma, masculinity, and family, delving into the writer’s journey with anxiety and panic attacks. While the story is personal, it's also widely relatable, inviting audiences to explore how all of us can find strength, healing, and a path forward after trauma.
