Joe Tracini: 10 Things I Hate About Me

28th June 2026
City Varieties Music Hall

Hi, hope you’re okay. My show is about hope. It’s also about mental illness, good liars, bad ideas, Lorraine Kelly and a gang lord forcing me to hold a raw chicken. But it’s mostly about hope. I live with a complex mental illness called borderline personality disorder (BPD) and I started writing this, about that, in January 2020. It’s been a long five years, but I’m finally here. Please come. I wrote it for you.

Joe Tracini is an actor, writer and TV presenter. He’s starred in TV shows including Hollyoaks, Coming of Age and The Great Outdoors, and was the host of the BAFTA-winning The Dengineers on CBBC. Since March 2020, his social media videos have been viewed over 90 million times. The BAFTA-nominated Channel 4 documentary Me and the Voice in My Head explored the frequently debilitating effects that Joe’s Borderline Personality Disorder has on every aspect of his life. His book, Ten Things I Hate About Me is a Sunday Times Bestseller.

‘This isn’t just stand-up – it’s an emotional ride, wrapped up in wit, charm and the occasional seven-foot man with a raw chicken!’

‘Very funny and sad and utterly true’
