EXCLUSIVELY LOOKING FOR PROBLEMATIC AUDIENCE & SEAT FILLERS FOR THE “WHAT’S YOUR PROBLEM” COMEDY EVENT

Apply here or show up at the location with a red rose and some cash.

EVENT DESCRIPTION:

This is your EXCLUSIVE chance to be outside your home ranting about your problem to the very unlicensed and quite unqualified “comedians”,or see the show LIVE and in person as a Seat Filler!

The “What’s your problem” event is often referred to as Lisbon’s MET gala by people who don’t know what a MET gala is. It is also the largest therapy speak show in the Iberian peninsula to celebrate the best of both worlds, comedy & tragedy.

This is your bi-weekly opportunity to hobnob with the who’s who of the alternative-psychology™️ industry.

WHAT IS PROBLEMATIC AUDIENCE: Depends on who you ask.

WHAT IS A SEAT FILLER: A seat filler is a person inside the show who fills either a permanent seat, or moves from seat to seat to fill a spot when a guest gets out of their seat to go to the bathroom, or because they are bored, one may never know. You may get to sit UP CLOSE with the ticketed guests if there are any - you never know who you may sit next to!

FINE PRINT (in regular font size)

Invites are free and available exclusively to the people who have bought tickets to the event, but space is limited so hurry and apply. You must be 18 years old or older than 18 years to apply for this “show”. After your request is submitted, some of you, NOT ALL OF YOU, will receive an email via email asking you “what’s your problem”.

ABOUT THE HOST:
Name: Ben Luks
Apparently a local stand-up comic in Lisbon. He is originally from Canada, and has been a regular in the Groningen and Barcelona scenes as well. He's no stranger to big feelings and oversharing
Says he, we’ll see.

INTERNAL NOTES not for public consumption:
Shalini can you not just promote the event instead of all this nonsense?
Shut up Ben - Respectfully, your mom (By this I mean Ben’s mom not your mom unless your mom also asked Ben to shut up)
