Brandon J Mannarino: Depression And Shoelaces

StarStarStarStar

"Mannarino, a self-proclaimed former good-looker and ladies man, comically personifies the fact that some things just don't go to plan."

Adelaide comic Brandon Mannarino returns to the Fringe festival with his most personal and daring offering, Depression And Shoelaces.

Mannarino, a self-proclaimed former good-looker and ladies man, comically personifies the fact that some things just don't go to plan. Taking us on a journey of rapidly declining joy and equally receding hairlines, the funny man tackles his most intimate of moments in the pursuit of mental health awareness. The results are positively confronting and somehow hilarious. If stand-up with conviction appeals to you, the discussion-raising Depression And Shoelaces is a must-see.
