"Citizen Brain" at The Marsh

Due to popular demand, The Marsh Berkeley has extended Josh Kornbluth’s engaging and enlightening autobiographical monologue Citizen Brain, told in Kornbluth’s inimitable humorous, intelligent, and forthright style. Inspired to provide a helping hand, Kornbluth began to immerse himself in the study of brain disease at the Global Brain Health Institute. As he investigated whether or not society was suffering from political dementia, Kornbluth came across the discovery of the “empathy circuit” in the brain, which may be the ultimate cure to uniting divided groups and solving the world’s problems. Can a neurotic storyteller who flunked every science class spark a science-based revolution of empathy? Citizen Brain received its live theatrical premiere at The Marsh Berkeley in June 2023, with Theatrius calling the work an “irresistible comedy,” and Bay City News giving it a “Best Bet” sharing, “The Bay Area is blessed with a goodly number of divine monologists, and one of the best of the bunch is the humorous and insightful storyteller Josh Kornbluth.”
