In Trouble On Six, Larry Jay Tish (Bad Cupid) reflects upon how he has been affected by the family disease of addiction, in a family he never should have been born into.  Directed by Margaret Ann Brady, the one-man opus will arrive to Edinburgh Fringe at Greenside Venues, this August.

For the better part of three decades Tish lived in a world of lies, cons, and untruths. “My mom had a nervous breakdown the day after my parents were married. They saw a marriage counselor whose sage advice was to have a baby to fix their marriage. 10 months later I showed up on the scene and couldn’t fix shit,” explained Tish.

“The world around me was so chaotic, I lived each day with an insatiable desire to fix and be in control of everything and everyone,” Tish continued. “It turns out, the only person I have control over and can fix is me.”

       

Tish’s journey to repair himself included a wild ride through recurring nightmares chock-full of addicts, being chased off a golf course by Nazis, learning when to Garfunkel, and visiting his dad in prison. “My family is so absurd and tragic, that it’s funny,” he explains. “When Socrates said the unexamined life is not worth living, he failed to mention that the examined life… sucks.”

The show’s title comes from his father’s experience as a pin boy at a bowling alley in Brooklyn.  If there was a problem on a lane, he would hear over the loudspeaker, “Eli, trouble on six!” which inevitably became his refrain to problems in life – and was consequently passed onto his son.

Tish recently finished 12 years of touring his two-hander social justice comedy, The Black-Jew Dialogues, through 46 states in the US as well as in Canada and the UK, with more than 600 performances to his credit. The Black-Jew Dialogues had its world premiere at the 2006 Edinburgh Fringe.
