About this show
A darkly humorous unflinching exploration of mental health, grief and trans identity, painted in all shades of blue and black. Jamie-Diane Rajaram has been shortlisted Disabled Comedian of the Year 2026 and is a So You Think You're Funny semi-finalist 2026. 'Jamie-Diane Rajaram, a tourette-sprinkl'd trans woman with a bullet-spitting spitfire of a…set.' (TheMumble.uk). Through unrequited wishes shaped by gender dysphoria, she confronts psychotherapists, psychiatrists and clinical gatekeeping in pursuit of diagnosis – while sharing moments of grief so intense they nearly lead to her sectioning. Expect laughter, heartbreak and truth told without apology.
