Excited to announce my new show is premiering at Hollywood Fringe! Part standup, part collective descent in a suboptimal submersible, this show is an attempt to capture the murky, inexplicable, you-just-gotta-laugh story of a family grappling with mental illness. Journey with me into The Abyss, where my brother is communing spiritually with Gwenyth Paltrow, my mother is a life coach obsessed with death, and my inner child is a bully.
Seven chances to see in June, and I hope that you do. Very intimate theatre so get your tickets now 🌊🤿

Brendan Scannell: The Abyss is coming to Edinburgh Fringe this summer with @gildedballoon 🎈so grateful to their team and @rbm_talent for making this happen
Part stand-up, part group dive in a suboptimal submersible, this comedy about that Sinking Feeling explores the depths of Brendan’s brain, where his mother is a life coach obsessed with death, his bipolar brother is communing spiritually with Gwyneth Paltrow, and his inner child is a total a**hole. The Abyss is a love letter to families who are grappling with mental illness from Emmy-nominated actor and comedian Brendan Scannell @bscan (Bonding, Heathers, After Midnight with Taylor Tomlinson)
