About the Show

In his provocative new show, celebrated solo artist Mike Daisey sinks his teeth into a harsh reality: bad faith is becoming more rampant in today’s culture.

From the show:

From the President and our politics to climate and corporate rule, Daisey unpacks how bad faith — a twisted kind of deception — spreads, why people choose bad faith over goodwill, and how this growing epidemic impacts our lives. Using heartbreaking and darkly hilarious stories from his own life, Daisey wrestles with the big questions: how do we know we're not part of the problem and how do we make sure the worst people don't come out on top?

Bad Faith will be produced by Audible Theater and recorded live at the Minetta Lane Theatre for Audible listeners globally.
