BatShit: Living with Mental Illness

Adam Slemon and Brad C. Hodson

2 Creators

BatShit is a frank, funny, and no holds barred look at living with mental illness. Hosted by actor and comedian Adam Slemon, alongside screenwriter and comic Brad C. Hodson, BatShit covers mental health topics, from how mental illness destroys relationships to how it affects work and creativity. The two hosts have both been diagnosed as bipolar and bring their unique backgrounds having dealt with this illness to the show with an irreverent, tongue firmly planted in cheek approach. Laughter, as they say, is the best medicine. Well, next to actual medicine. Seriously, take your pills.
