Ayden Doherty: Birthday Party for a Dead Friend
The highly anticipated FRINGE WORLD return for Ayden Doherty sees him explore
life, love, and mental health in Birthday Party for a Dead Friend.
Navigating,
with humour, the comorbidity of existence, "Doherty uses his skill to
swoop, elegantly, from harsh nasty criticism to a place of genuine
sensitivity", branded with "a tenacity and razor-sharp tongue that you
must witness" (OUTinPerth).
Ayden takes an open and unfiltered
look at living and surviving with mental health, exploring the ugly sides
of our shared mental health experiences, showing why laughter is, so
often, the best medicine.
"Doherty comes from the bitterest school
of laughs. His comedic timing is quite on point and he has a presence on
stage that commands attention... worth seeing" OUTinPerth, 2015
"I’m a FIVE STAR MAN!"
Ayden Doherty shouts this exuberantly into the microphone three quarters of the way into the show...
