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
