“Once I had that word unwillingly etched into my identity, it could never go away. Like a tattoo on my forehead of the scariest word in the dictionary ‘Bipolar.’ It’s right up there with ‘No Ragrets.’”
Awarded the Bounce Emerging Artist Award at the Edinburgh Fringe, Bipolar Badass is a window into Mari (like calamari) Crawford’s world, forever changed by this scary diagnosis. Told through recounts of psychosis, the messiah complex, psychiatrists sounding like Usher, inaccurate portrayals in the media, and insights from living with Bipolar.
“Bipolar Badass showed real strength and was very well received.”
– Humza Yousaf, First Minister of Scotland
“This portrayal of Bipolar disorder is not one of defeat. In ‘Bipolar Badass’ we see exactly that – a bonafide badass unafraid to bear her soul and share rare insights mined from many years of facing deeply difficult personal challenges.”
– Neurodiverse Review
“The fact that Crawford is able to share humor in it makes the tough content more accessible to people who may never have experienced complex mental illness.”
– Broadway World
“Shows talk about isolation and mental health but Bipolar Badass shares the trauma of Mari Crawford’s own individual past.”
– BBC World Service
