What's On

George Rigden - Self-Inflicted
 

In 2020, George Rigden was roundly (and rightly) cancelled, and his life fell apart. In 2025, he was finally diagnosed with autism, finally sobered up - and began to put his life back together.

Now, more than half a decade on from his life falling apart, he’s finally stable (and sober) enough to talk about it.

An interactive musical comedy show about attempted redemption, coming to understand yourself & self-improvement, while also staying true to yourself.

A hilarious, heart-wrenching musical romp through the life of someone who’s been to hell and back through their own self-destructibe tendencies, and lived to tell the tale. (Its funnier than it sounds. A lot funnier.)
