About this show
What happens when a diagnosis makes you a target? As the audience "checks in," a medical crisis spirals into a surreal chase led by Mike, a relentless billings collector. Through a kaleidoscope of uncomfortable characters, this show satirizes the absurdity of the American medical system. Wildly funny and deeply unsettling, it's a high stakes journey into the heart of a broken system. Hilarious yet harrowing glimpse into a future the UK may soon inherit. Created by viral sketch artist Stacy Price (Groundlings, Actors Gang) this show blends comedy with total chaos, leaving the audience asking: is this real?

We have captured 1 published review and 17 audience reviews for this show from the Edinburgh Festival Fringe’s own listing. The excerpts below are the reviewers’ words, not ours — follow each link for the full review.
Citizen Otherplace takes its title from the opening passage of Sontag’s 1978 ‘Illness as Metaphor’ – a promising signal that this solo show might have something to say about how illness gets narrated.
