Traumedy: A Guide To Being A Fabulous Homeless Addict is a true story about life through addiction to sobriety. From being young and dumb on the Glasgow gay scene, through homelessness on the streets of Barcelona, to being committed to a psych ward and then landing in recovery. It is a tragic yet hilarious true story about overcoming demons and finding the real meaning of what it takes to be happy.

REVIEW of Traumedy at GICF
It’s been said that one of the best ways to combat stigma is through open conversation. With his one man show, Traumedy: A Guide to Being a Fabulous Homeless Addict, Iain Anderson showed that the critical acclaim he has received thus far has been well-earned.

Not only is he the king of the homeless and a self-taught psychologist, Iain Anderson is crucially the charmingly quick-witted fix that the standup scene is missing. While Barcelona may have claimed him now, the Port Glasgow native was clearly at home on Sunday 23 March when he took to the stage in Bath Street’s The Griffin. From learning the unspoken etiquette of gay saunas to surviving attempts on his own life, the 40-year-old comic fused his observational prowess and innate storytelling ability to create an hour-long set full of hearty laughs and deep reflection. Click Here
