About this show
Convinced his time has come, Jojo invites you to the funniest funeral: his own! Through chaotic conversations with family, friends and therapists, join him on this journey of what it means to die – and most importantly, what it means to live. This dark comedy was originally written for writer-performer Jonas Feind's thesis on the use of playwriting as therapy. It features the voices of many creatives you probably share mutuals with on Instagram and is perfect for fans of comedy, pop culture references and the exploration of mental health.

FringeReview HIDDEN GEM In this well crafted monologue authored by the performer, Jonas Feind invites us to his funeral, offering a eulogy that successfully penetrates its self-inquiry and becomes a wider exploration…
All the same, this is a funny and illuminating show, succeeding at something theatre so often strives for – to convey what it’s like to live inside someone else’s mind.
— The Wee Review (3 out of 5 stars)
Jonas Feind’s This Year I Am Going To Die is a delightful, hilariously specific anxiety spiral. It explores cultural constructs around death, the nature of mortality, irrational obsession and the efficacy of therapy.
