Hung, Drawn and Portered

"Has anyone here been sectioned?" TV presenter Gail Porter jokily asks her audience. Famed for her vibrancy as well as mental health struggles, she has turned to comedy to take control of her own story. Comedy is a new venture for Gail. She has just concluded a run of her one-woman show Hung, Drawn and Portered at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The show documents her life experiences and appears to be liberating. "If I've got a problem, I like to share it - whether it's homelessness or losing my hair," "I've been in a psychiatric unit and I just think 'you know what? I'll just tell you. What,s the worst that could happen?'"
