Event Details

UNRELIABLE NARRATOR (A Comedic Guide to Mental Health) is what happens when you become a comedian, then a motivational speaker, then a published author, speak to audiences of thousands, and run a thriving business… only to discover success doesn’t solve your problems, it reveals them.

While managing major depressive disorder as well as generalized anxiety disorder, Colin spent 10 years as a speaker creating spaces for audiences to talk openly about an extremely taboo subject: their finances.

Now Colin is bringing his award-winning presenting style, which emphasizes humor and vulnerability, to empower audiences to better understand and manage the stories they tell themselves.

Using hilarious true stories from the life of an at-times depressed motivational speaker, Colin will create an authentic conversation around mental health, self-care, shame-reduction, and the power of laughing during tough times. Don't miss this event!


Why is VCET hosting this event?

We think it's safe to say that everyone's mental health has been challenged in the past year, in one way or another. Not only can the humor and vulnerability in Colin's show speak to the stresses of entrepreneurship, they are made even more poignant amidst the pandemic. His show de-stigmatizes mental health, and brings honesty and universality to new spaces. We are excited to be able to offer this virtually to our community and beyond.
