As a live companion to his book, McGarvey dissects how personal suffering is repackaged, exploring the fine line between awareness and exploitation.
With his signature wit and razor-sharp analysis, he interrogates the rise of trauma discourse, oversharing culture, and the perverse incentives that turn pain into currency.
Expect a gripping, no-hold-barred performance that challenges audiences to rethink everything they know about victimhood, resilience and the booming industry built on human suffering.
