Literature - Darren McGarvey: Trauma Industrial Complex: The Live Show

Details

Darren McGarvey was our very first live show at Erskine Arts - and a sold out one at that. We are honoured to have him back, this time with a live for his newest release, Trauma Industrial Complex.

The Live Show is Darren McGarvey’s unflinching, darkly humorous deep dive into the rise of trauma culture. As a live companion to his book, McGarvey dissects how personal suffering is repackaged, exploring the fine line between awareness and exploitation. With his signature wit and razor-sharp analysis, he interrogates the rise of trauma discourse, oversharing culture, and the perverse incentives that turn pain into currency. Expect a gripping, no-holds-barred performance that challenges audiences to rethink everything they know about victimhood, resilience, and the booming industry built on human suffering.

Trauma Industrial Complex will be available to purchase and be signed by Darren on the night.
