About this show
A story about loss, grief and the meaning of life, Psycho should be a slow, plodding, tear-jerker of an hour. Instead, join Jamie as he shares an uproariously funny, heartwarming and life-affirming outlook on tragedy. One of Time Out's Comics to Watch 2025, Jamie Wolf is a comedian, writer, actor and former opiate user with a penchant for tackling dark and taboo subjects with a dynamic stage presence that not only makes it work, but makes it kill.

— The List (4 out of 5 stars)
Wolf is an engaging performer with an infectious smile and a strong gag rate. If his sister had not been around to help, he would have charmed his way out of the psych ward. Nae bother.
This is a wonderful hour of humour recounting Jamie’s extremely personal journey through the American health system. His show is a testament to the adage that you should write about what you know and Jamie takes full…
