If you like to find the unexpected humor and poignancy in personal pain, this brutally honest show is for you. Particularly relevant to this very moment, a show in which people confront their actual lives and demons is incredibly cathartic and feels really brave. Highly recommend. ... full review

A deeply profound, emotionally raw, and, at times, uncomfortably honest examination of mental health and the struggles faced by those it impacts, "Taming of the Shamed" will leave you in tears.
