  • Created and Performed by: Taco Kuiper

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be normal? For a long time, Taco didn't think there was anything wrong. He just thought he wasn't doing it right. 'It's All in Your Head' is a comedy cabaret about living with bipolar, ADHD and anxiety (just to name a few). Join Taco and his double bass Terry on this chaotic yet poignant journey about how to keep moving forward when it feels like this world wasn't meant for you.
