Is there anything you want to change in your life?

Do you ever find well-meant advice patronising and condescending?

Are you curious about the transformative power of humour and reverse psychology?

If so, a visit to the Chutzpah Clinic might be just what you need.

The Chutzpah Clinic is a completely new type of Citizens Advice Bureau.

At your service in front of a live audience rooting for your success will be:

• Provocative Consultant - Dr Brian Kaplan
• Comedy Consultant - Arnold Brown
• Guest Comedian *

The Chutzpah Clinic is fully interactive and will function as a Provocative Advice Bureau inviting volunteers from the audience to be clients.

Brian, Arnold and the guest comedian will sympathetically use comedy and absurdity to provoke clients to get whatever they want in life. The Chutzpah Clinic will focus on getting results and volunteers will be invited to a brief follow-up session a month later when the clinic reconvenes.

No issue or goal will be considered too trivial for the Chutzpah Clinic.

Dr Brian Kaplan: Provocative Consultant
Brian Kaplan is a medical doctor with a special interest in whole person medicine. He has trained extensively with Frank Farrelly, the founder of Provocative Therapy, the cutting edge of the use of humour and reverse psychology in therapy. In the Chutzpah Clinic he will be not be practising medicine or therapy but giving 'provocative style advice' about everyday issues. He will be aided in this by Comedy Consultant Arnold Brown and his Guest Comedians.

Arnold Brown: Comedy Consultant

In 1987 he won the prestigious Perrier Comedy Award at the Edinburgh Festival. He is currently engaged in a series of live interviews with leading comedians at comedy festivals throughout the UK.
