Christian Cintron is a comedian with on a mission to teach people that the expression of pain, personality, and power through comedy can be an incredibly healing, if not altogether psychedelic experience.

From his website: "Comedy comes from tension, pain, and discomfort. But on the other side of all of that is power. You can use humor to set boundaries, speak up for yourself, and even inspire and heal others. Through joke writing and comedy performance, Comedian & Writer Christian Cintron helps you dive into the darkness and come out the other side. Comedy can help you manage your mental and emotional space. It gives you a toolkit to speak your truth in a way that's not just digestible but even enjoyable."

Performance is non-ordinary consciousness, and comedy is a specific zone in that wide field. Christian opens up in a way that comics seem most adept, about his experiences with plant medicine, trauma, joy, identity, and all that informs his work.
