Darren McGarvey – Trauma Industrial Complex: The Live Show

United Kingdom - Scotland
Performer / Performance company

Darren McGarvey / The Stand Comedy Club

Trauma Industrial Complex: The Live Show is Darren McGarvey’s unflinching, darkly humorous deep dive into the rise of trauma culture. As a live companion to his book, McGarvey dissects how personal suffering is repackaged, exploring the fine line between awareness and exploitation. With his signature wit and razor-sharp analysis, he interrogates the rise of trauma discourse, oversharing culture, and the perverse incentives that turn pain into currency. Expect a gripping, no-holds-barred performance that challenges audiences to rethink everything they know about victimhood, resilience, and the booming industry built on human suffering.
