Josh Kornbluth will perform his latest solo show, "Citizen Brain," in Pam & Phil's lovely backyard in the Portola neighborhood of San Francisco on Saturday, September 28, 2024, at 3 p.m. This event, and access to the backyard, will be totally outdoors -- but the home will be available to hang out in as well.

Live music before the monologue!

At the Global Brain Health Institute, Josh immersed himself in the study of brain disease and wondered if our society was suffering from political dementia. The discovery of the empathy circuit in the brain might be the cure. Can a neurotic storyteller, who flunked every science class in college, spark a science-based revolution of empathy?

Written by Josh Kornbluth, in collaboration with Aaron Loeb, Casey Stangl & David Dower

Directed by Casey Stangl & David Dower

Runtime: 70 minutes.

Showtime is 3 p.m. -- but doors will open at 2.

Street parking is available in the neighborhood.

Several MUNI buses stop a relatively short distance away.

The performing area is not wheelchair-accessible.

Refreshments will be provided, but feel free to bring your own as well.

Small service animals welcome -- but please be aware that four dogs (who all really enjoy human visitors and tolerate other dogs) will be kept inside the house.

It can get cool in the shade -- bring a warm layer.
