Gerard McGowan

Be Here Now (For an Hour Then You Can Go)

  • Australia

In 2023, I moved to the jungles of Costa Rica to do drugs and try to find God. I was mostly hanging out with a bunch of German professional poker players who would play poker online all night and then drink beer on the beach all day. It was pretty rad, but not very spiritual. A year later, one of them had a baby who didn’t sleep for six months (he should have stayed on the beach).

Anyway, this show is a collection of stories about trying to find God, curing anxiety and calming that inner voice in your head that says, “What would happen if I pushed a trolley full of dog food in front of a tram?”

Suitable for audiences 18+
