About this show
Chill Towards Enlightenment is a satirical self-help seminar from the creator of Chad Goes Deep, with over 1 million followers online. According to Chad's research, the world is currently experiencing a global "stoke" crisis. In response, he has developed a revolutionary system for reclaiming joy: The Chill Method. Part TED Talk, part motivational seminar, and part existential meltdown, this high-energy comedy show invites the audience on a journey toward enlightenment – or at least toward being slightly more stoked about life.
