The Stoned Ape Show

by Stuart Preston

The Stoned Ape Show at the Tempe Center for the Arts

”A few years ago, I set out on a psychedelic journey to find my late son. I didn’t. But, I found myself. And I reconnected with Love and Acceptance.” The Stoned Ape Show is about my experience as a Stoned Ape, enkindled by the entheogenic powers of medicines known as Psychedelics. Built around a Stand-up comedy show, this straight talk presentation will help you see these ‘drugs’ as medicine and relate to my story of grief, depression, and transformation.

[Disclaimer: I do not advocate using illegal drugs. Find a safe, legal setting should you choose to do so.]

A unique, touching, inspiring and funny show! We laughed, we cried and we learned a thing or two. My wife and I talked about the show and elements of it all during our ride home and are looking forward to bringing family and or friends to the next one. Highly recommend. Well done Stuart!
