Doc Strange

🧠 Where Doc Strange Came From

Tenerife, 1990s. Nine shows a week. Comedy hypnosis for drunk holidaymakers in rough clubs. You learn fast when your audience is hostile and your safety depends on reading the room.

Doc Strange wasn't a character - it was armor. A persona that let Christian survive kissagram work, rough pubs, Club 18-30 crowds, hostile corporate events. When you're performing in environments where things can turn violent, you develop instincts.

That character saved him. When you're managing 200 drunk people in a basement club, you learn performance psychology whether you mean to or not.

🔥 The Real Training Ground

12 years homeless in London. Not all homelessness looks like you think. Couch surfing. Insecure housing. Making it work. You develop grit, resilience, and the ability to perform under pressure because there's no other choice.

Table Mountain fire escape (South Africa). Literally ran from wildfire. When you've survived actual fire, corporate "fires" don't phase you.

Abandoned in Italy. Partner left him stranded. Had to sail alone to Piraeus. Figure it out or don't survive.

30 years performing for kids. Brutally honest critics. They don't lie. They don't pretend. You either connect or you fail. That's the real training - not boardrooms, but birthday parties where six-year-olds will tell you to your face if you're boring.

💼 The Corporate Pivot

The Problem: UK companies lose £8.4 billion annually to poor workplace mental health (Deloitte 2024). Generic mindfulness apps don't work. Yoga sessions nobody attends. Tick-box compliance training that changes nothing.

The Solution: Performance psychology from someone who's lived it.

Target: Companies with 100+ employees

Pricing: £1000 per employee

That's £100k-150k per booking. Not cheap. But you're not paying for theory - you're paying for 30 years of lived experience compressed into actionable training.

📚 What Gets Taught

Reading Rooms: How to spot tension before it explodes. When to push. When to back off. Group dynamics that most people miss.

Performance Under Pressure: Showing up when stakes are high. Managing nerves. Recovering from mistakes in real-time. The difference between freezing and flowing.

Connection: Building rapport fast. Making strangers feel seen. Performing WITH people, not AT them.

Resilience & Recovery: How to bounce back from failure. How to handle rejection. How to keep going when everything says stop.

The science behind it: Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman for decision-making under pressure. Influence by Robert Cialdini for understanding human behavior. Peak Performance for sustainable high achievement without burnout.

🎭 Doc Strange & The Dude (2020)

Lockdown project with Ian (Holy Mole). Political satire. Pattern recognition. We predicted everything that happened next.

Ian's trapped at Iceland supermarket with chronic back pain, pattern recognition genius, writer of Strange Mole Show. We did Doc Strange & The Dude during lockdown - analyzing political collapse, predicting trajectories, calling it before it happened.

That's what performance psychology looks like when you combine lived experience with pattern recognition. Seeing what's coming before it arrives.
