Don't Panic by Kate Pinchuck

ABOUT

Don’t Panic Event Info

Short Description (50 words):

The journey of figuring out how to fix yourself is fraught with lots of therapy, inner child healing

and "relaxing" mental health walks. And it never goes quite how you've planned. But Kate

Pinchuck isn't panicking, so you shouldn't either.

Longer Description:

Award-winning comedian Kate Pinchuck attempts to navigate millennial angst and the societal

pressure to have a house, 2.4 kids, a thriving career, and zero mental health issues by the age

of 31, even though she is 31 and has none of those things. It’s fine though - she has a comedy

show instead, and it turns out, sometimes moving back in with your psychologist parents in your

30s can be hilarious, especially because you don’t have to do your own laundry. Being an adult

is terrifying, but don’t panic. She’s going to talk you through it.

“[Kate] effortlessly turn[s] life challenges that most people would find taboo into comedic gold” -

eleven official languages, later attending a Waldorf school, where he learned how to plant
