Sharp Irish wit and a therapist’s eye are brought to the business of figuring out why we think, feel and behave the way we do.
★★★★ “A generous and inclusive performer, drawing frequent laughs from start to finish.” Glam Adelaide Sean Quinn is an Irish comedian and CBT therapist who has spent years listening to people talk about anxiety, overthinking, avoidance, family dysfunction and the quiet terror of trying to appear normal. You’ll Be Grand is what happens when an Irishman trained to help other people examine their thoughts starts applying the same logic to himself. From growing up in Newry, Ireland, to building a life in Australia, Sean takes a comedic look at therapy language, Irish emotional repression and the questionable coping strategies we inherit. No clinical training required. It’s a show for anyone who has ever overthought, avoided, catastrophised or insisted they were “fine” while very clearly not being fine - although therapists, mental health workers and Irish people may recognise more than they’d like. You’ll laugh. You might reflect. You may even identify an unhelpful thinking pattern. But don’t worry. You’ll be grand.
