Sean Quinn has spent years listening to people talk about anxiety, overthinking, avoidance, family dysfunction and the quiet terror of trying to be normal.

In You’ll Be Grand (and Other Cognitive Distortions), Sean brings his sharp Irish wit and therapist’s eye to the strange little stories we tell ourselves to get through the day. Part stand-up, part emotional damage report. This is a show about Irish emotional repression and the deeply suspicious phrase: “You’ll be grand.”

It is not therapy. That would cost more.

From growing up in Newry, Ireland to building a life in Australia, Sean picks apart the absurd ways we try to reassure ourselves while quietly spiralling.

Expect jokes about therapy language, Irish coping strategies, cognitive distortions and the fine line between insight and just having a very organised breakdown.

Sean has performed across Australia, including Adelaide Fringe, Perth Fringe and Melbourne International Comedy Festival. His comedy mixes storytelling, self-deprecation and a warm but forensic eye for human nonsense.

Come along if you’ve ever said “I’m fine” while very clearly not being fine.

You’ll laugh. You might reflect. You may even identify an unhelpful thinking pattern.

But don’t worry.

You’ll be grand.
