George Rigden
Self-Inflicted
Nominee Leicester Mercury Comedian of the Year 2017
Nominee Best Musical Comedy Show 2018 Leicester Comedy Festival
In 2020, George Rigden was roundly (and rightly) cancelled, and his life fell apart. In 2025, he was finally diagnosed with autism, finally sobered up – and began to put his life back together.
Now, more than half a decade on from his life falling apart, he’s finally stable (and sober) enough to talk about it.
An interactive musical comedy show about attempted redemption, coming to understand yourself and self-improvement, while also staying true to yourself.
A hilarious, heart-wrenching musical romp through the life of someone who’s been to hell and back through their own self-destructibe tendencies, and lived to tell the tale. (It's funnier than it sounds. A lot funnier.)
‘A fine, wretched persona.’ Chortle (UK)
‘Deliciously dark.’ Beyond The Joke
★★★★ The List (UK)
★★★★ The Wee Review (UK)
Suitable for audiences 15+
Audience participation
Death and grief
Drug references
Language – strong coarse language
Licensed venue: under 18s will only be permitted with a parent or guardian
