About This Event

Krystyna Hutchinson brings her solo show *Congrats On Not Killing Yourself!* to the Gilded Balloon Patter House on Wednesday 5 August at 6.40pm. The American comedian fuses stand-up with storytelling, drawing on her own upbringing with a mother who struggled with mental illness and an emotionally distant father. The performance examines the moment she realised her parents were not the heroes she once believed them to be, and what it truly means to go no-contact with family. Hutchinson’s approach is darkly funny and unflinching, blending raw honesty with sharp wit rather than sentimentality. There are no easy answers here, only the uncomfortable, often absurd reality of untangling oneself from a difficult past. Tickets are available via the venue’s website.

The event features stand-up and storytelling from comedian Krystyna Hutchinson. The show explores her childhood and her relationship with her parents, who suffered from mental illness and emotional distance. Hutchinson's approach is unflinching and darkly funny, blending raw honesty with sharp wit.

Krystyna Hutchinson performs in this solo show. The event is a one-off performance at the Gilded Balloon Patter House on Wednesday 5 August at 6.40pm.

Tickets are available via the venue's website. The event starts at 6.40pm, with no further details provided.
