Therapist Zero

About

Therapist Zero is a raw, darkly funny, and deeply human solo performance by Brian Leonard, directed by Ken Sonkin. Following a string of sold-out performances in San Francisco, a limited Off-Broadway run, and being named a San Francisco Chronicle “Critic’s Pick,” Therapist Zero has resonated with audiences and critics alike for its honesty, humor, and emotional precision. Told through sharply observed vignettes that move fluidly between laughter and heartbreak, the show traces Leonard’s two-decade journey parenting a brilliant but emotionally explosive daughter through an endless revolving door of therapists—and a mental health system that often felt more confounding than supportive. Audiences have praised the piece as “funny, vulnerable, and captivating,” calling Leonard “an amazing storyteller”and describing the show as “poignant, heartbreaking at times, with beautiful comedic touches all along the way.”
