Mendocino Arts Center Welcomes Comedian
Adam Strauss for Mendocino Mushroom Month

Two performances celebrate November’s mushroom festivities with comedy about psychedelics, OCD, and the search for a cure

MENDOCINO, Calif. - The Mendocino Arts Center is bringing acclaimed performer Adam Strauss to the Mendocino Coast to help celebrate November as Mendocino Mushroom Month. Strauss will perform twice, once at the Arts Center and once at Matheson Hall.

On Thursday, November 12, at 5:00 PM, Strauss will take the stage at the Mendocino Arts Center with ‘The Cosmic Laugh: Comedy on Psychedelics’, a comedic performance about microdosing.

Weaving comedy, personal narrative, and cultural observation, The Cosmic Laugh is an evolving performance about psychedelic experience, mental health, and the tension between vulnerability and self-protection. Moving through fragmentation, integration, and the ongoing attempt to make sense of it all, Adam Strauss explores what happens when profound cosmic insight collides with the realization that you still have to pay rent.

Michael Pollan has called Adam's work “brilliant, hilarious and moving,” while The New York Times says he "mines a great deal of laughter from disabling pain.”

(NOTE - This is not the Mushroom Cure Performance)
