A musician, a doctor, and a traumagenic personification of God walk into a hospital. Tale as old as time.

Eli Yim, a young adult in a mental health crisis, goes to A&E in a last-ditch attempt to get help. What begins as a flippant retelling of their life story becomes an exploration of suicidality's brutal truth - when no one else can save you, you must keep choosing to save yourself.

The Easy Way Out combines theatre, live music, and stand up comedy to both entertain and expose the uncomfortable reality of UK mental health services. Eli shares a range of personal experiences covering generational trauma, religion, and queer identity through original songs sung onstage with their keyboard. And, sometimes, an inappropriately-timed kazoo.
