Fresh from a successful run at the Edinburgh Fringe, musician, performer and writer Matt McGuinness presents his debut show as part of a UK tour. Uplifting, anthemic tunes punctuate stories and conversation, shedding light on mental health with self-deprecating honesty and dark humour. This show is for anyone who has ever overcome one of life’s many challenges or is battling to do so.
We Are What We Overcome is supported by Mind, The Samaritans and the Mental Health Foundation.
Mental Health Awareness Week 13th – 19th May 2019

Reviews
“Songs with substance, somewhere between Folk, Gospel & pure Rock n Roll”

““At times this show is like a series of small polished TED talks on Mental Health, Parenting, Humanism and Love, but these are punctuated by poetic songs loaded with meaning and metaphor.””
