Tia Rey: Oot Ma Banger - The Lemon Tree

In her 20s, Tia took enough psychedelics to frighten a shaman - mushrooms, acid, ayahuasca - and somehow came out the other side more herself than ever. Following her award-winning Edinburgh Fringe debut this show is a funny, honest, scientific exploration through the dangers and discoveries of the wild medicines that cracked her open. Equal parts cautionary tale and spiritual stand-up.
