Who they are

"I was kept in the dark about my own medicine. Nobody told me anything. So I built Cannabin-Oid, because that's what I do — I make the invisible visible."

Chris P Taylor — known as Chris P Tee, or just Doc — is a variety entertainer and community builder from Bristol. They've been performing since they were seventeen. Magician. Hypnotist. Punch & Judy. Puppets. Characters that emerge when the moment calls for them.

They're also a legal medical cannabis patient, prescribed via Alternaleaf UK. AuDHD. They/them. Running on their autistic side these days — thoughtful, chill, but with a few things to say about being kept in the dark and fed with bullshit. Like fungus.

They built Cannabin-Oid because when they were first prescribed, nobody told them anything useful. No guidance. No community. No tool that should have existed. So they built one.

30+ years performing live — magic, hypnosis, variety, puppetry
Legal medical cannabis patient, prescribed UK
AuDHD — deeply understands sensory experience and neurodivergence
Mental health speaker at businesses and events
Bristol rave scene — 30+ years of alternative culture
Founder, Cannabin-Oid — the cannabis patient village

What they want to do at your festival

Not sell anything. Not run a trade stand. Not give a polished keynote in a suit.

Talk to your crowd. Speak honestly about mental health, AuDHD, and cannabis as medicine. Let the characters come out if the moment calls for it. Give people something genuinely memorable.

🧠

Mental Health Speaker

Honest talk on AuDHD, late diagnosis, cannabis as part of a mental health toolkit. Not a panel. A conversation. No PowerPoint. Just truth.

🌿

Cannabis as Medicine

Patient perspective. No hype. No industry spin. What it's actually like to be prescribed. What nobody told them. What they built because of it.

🎭

Entertainment — when it fits

The characters emerge when the vibe calls for them. Prof Tee, Cheeky Chops, Leo the Lion, Boot Sale Barry. Nobody is made to feel silly. The show finds its own moment.

🏡

Community builder

Founder of Cannabin-Oid — a village of cannabis patients, not a directory. Knows how to hold space and how to start conversations that carry on long after the festival ends.

The cast of characters

Chris P Taylor is they/them. The characters choose when to come out — when they feel like "I'll be this version of myself today." Not to impress or confuse anyone. The character that shows up is the one best suited for the occasion.

All of these people live in the same body. Some days one leads. Some days several show up.

Chris P Tee
Magician, variety entertainer — the main public name
Prof Tee
The professor. Academic gravitas, very little patience for nonsense.
Doc
Stage hypnotist turned mental health speaker. Seen things.
Sapphire Blue
Drag act. Early 2000s, millennium era. Arrived when the world needed her.
The Punch & Judy Man
Traditional. Subversive. The crowd always picks a side.
Cheeky Chops
Puppet. Says the things Chris P Tee can't.
Little Titch
Puppet. Small. Surprisingly wise.
Tina Turtle
Character. Slow, deliberate, always right in the end.
Guy the Announcer
The voice. Everything sounds more important when Guy announces it.
Jethro the Rabbit
Character. Country. Has a lot of opinions.
Leo the Lion
Alive. Didn't brush his teeth. They all fell out. When he roars, he goes gewwaarrr.

The speaking topics

Mental health and AuDHD

Late-diagnosed AuDHD at 57 years of living. What that changes. What it explains. How cannabis fits into the toolkit when nothing else was working. Honest, personal, no clinical distance.

Cannabis as medicine — the patient view

Not the industry view. Not the research view. What it's actually like to be a patient in the UK. What you're told (almost nothing). What you figure out yourself (everything). What Cannabin-Oid is trying to change about that.

The invisible made visible

"What we are doing is making the invisible visible. The unthought of, thought of. And the impossible, possible."

That's not a keynote line. That's the reason Cannabin-Oid exists. That's the reason Chris P Taylor is standing in front of a cannabis festival audience rather than sitting at home waiting to feel better.

Where they want to be

Cannabis festivals. Medical patient communities. Progressive wellness events. Anywhere the crowd already understands why cannabis matters — and is ready to hear something honest about mental health alongside it.

What they need from you

Not a fee. Not a budget. Just to be looked after as a guest — because that's what they are.

1

An invitation

Speaker pass, guest access, artist wristband — whatever fits. They're not paying to be there. They're being brought in.

2

A slot — on stage or in conversation

A panel, a solo slot, a fireside chat, a tent with chairs. Something real. Not filler. Not a sponsored moment.

3

Travel and accommodation covered

Getting there and somewhere to stay. That's all. The work they do for you is worth it.

4

Space to be themselves

AuDHD. They give everything in the room — but they also need to go quiet. Sensory space. The right to step away and recharge.

That's the deal. You look after them — they look after your crowd.

Invite them to your festival

No forms, no decks, no pitching document. Just a conversation. If this fits your ethos, reach out and let's see what it looks like.
