"Gifted...and, frankly, just a little strange!" —NY Times

"Uproarious, poignant and beautifully raw..." —Sarah Jones (Tony Award, Bridge & Tunnel)

Here's a taste of James' storytelling: Pink Bicycle at The Moth.

Asylum is the darkly comic true story of a high school pothead who checks himself into the only place he can't get high: a psychiatric hospital. There, he makes the disturbing discovery that some of the patients are actually crazy and some of the counselors are nuts -but they're all more sane than his family.

Read The Low-Down interview with James Braly and director Seth Barrish.

About the Artist:
James Braly's first show, Life in a Marital Institution, workshopped at Dixon Place, sold out 59E59 Theaters, and transferred Off Broadway to the Soho Playhouse. Reviewed as "gaspingly funny" (Variety), "Four Stars" (TimeOut NY), and "never less than excellent" (The New York Times), the show is in development as a feature film with Meredith Vieira Productions, and a forthcoming memoir from St. Martin's Press.
