If the friend who talked you out of suicide killed himself, is it still possible to live like there IS a tomorrow? Acclaimed writer, actor, comedian and radio host Jamie Kilstein returns to the Edinburgh Fringe with his most personal and fearless show yet. Can’t Tie Knots is a darkly funny and unexpectedly uplifting hour about survival, shame, public failure, grief and what happens after the worst year of your life becomes internet content. Blending razor-sharp stand-up with masterful storytelling, Kilstein unpacks the truth behind his online persona, one very public downfall, a fateful appearance on Joe Rogan and the impossible task of learning how to keep going when your world collapses. A cult favourite in alternative comedy, Kilstein has built a reputation for emotionally raw, politically charged and wildly funny performances that leave audiences stunned as often as they leave them laughing. Robin Williams once said of Kilstein: “He has the spark that energized my conscience.” Critics have called him “the Second Coming”, “audacious”, “special” and “almost poetic”, while his Mom simply said: “I’m surprised he’s not dead.” This is comedy storytelling at its most fearless , intimate, brutal and very, very funny.
