I love Jon Ronson. So it’s not going to come as much of a surprise that this review is pretty consistently positive. I can’t remember how I first discovered his work; possibly when the film of The Men Who Stare at Goats came out. He has a wonderful, dark, anxiety-ridden way of writing and his investigative journalism is always based around a subject that I find fascinating. Which brings me to The Psychopath Test. I’m intrigued by the workings of the mind, especially in the realms of mental health. So this show was a must-see for me.

Ronson loped onto the stage, clutching a bottle of beer and all he had to do was say a polite ‘hello’ to get a laugh from the 700-strong audience. Having recently binge-listened to his podcast The Butterfly Effect I’ve grown fond of his rather pleasing, effeminate intonation and the musicality of his oration. It seems my fellow audience members agreed; a hush descended as soon as he started the show with a hilarious anecdote explaining why he is not a psychopath, only broken by various bursts of laughter throughout the tale. And that is pretty much how the evening continued – I can’t speak for the rest of the audience, but he had me entranced with his tales, laughing frequently at the telling.

It wasn’t just Ronson gracing our stage – he had two special guests at separate intervals, advertised on his leaflet as not being in his book, but being a crucial to its existence. The stories that brought Mary Turner Thomson and Eleanor Longden to his attention are unbelievable. But I am not going to divulge them here – as he states on the leaflet: 'the less you know the better'. Let’s just say, the audience were gripped. There were gasps. Maybe a little laughter. And a lot of applause.

After the interval, we were treated to a brand new story from Ronson, involving Alex Jones of conspiracy theory fame, supporter of Trump and host of the controversial InfoWars. The story was based around a visit Ronson and Jones paid to Bohemian Grove, a campground in California owned by a private gentleman’s club and attended by some of the most powerful men in the world. Ronson weaves magic into the telling of his anecdotes and this was no different; funny, disturbing and unbelievable.

The evening ended with Ronson and his two guests on stage, fielding questions from the audience. Even when put on the spot he manages to respond with wit and humour, but also factually. But we didn’t really leave the theatre with an answer to the most burning question of all: can you cure a psychopath with yogurt?
