Dr Benji Waterhouse is an NHS Consultant Psychiatrist, award-winning comedian and author. His first book You Don’t Have to Be Mad to Work Here – A Psychiatrist’s Life unlocked the doors to the psych ward and was an instant Sunday Times best-seller described by the Guardian as “humane, hilarious and eye-opening”. He is currently adapting it for television and working on a second book about psychedelics.

The evening also includes drinks and mince pies and a raffle. All profits will be used to fund free learning resources for young people.
The Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh is on Queen Street. The College is wheelchair accessible, with a self-operated street lift at 11 Queen Street. There are wheelchair accessible toilets onsite.
