The Psychology of Cults

Hosted by Mike King
Australia 2026

The Psychology of Cults brings renowned cult investigator Mike King to Australia this December – with shows in Perth, Melbourne, Adelaide, Brisbane, Canberra and Sydney.

Hosted by Mike King, this gripping live show takes audiences deep inside the world of cults – how they form, why people join, and what it takes to break free. From infamous groups like Jonestown, Heaven’s Gate and NXIVM to lesser-known but equally dangerous organisations, Mike unpacks the psychology, manipulation tactics and hidden dangers that cults use to control their members.

But cult influence isn’t always as extreme as the headlines suggest. This show also explores how coercion and abuse can happen in everyday life – within relationships, workplaces, wellness communities and even social movements. With real-life stories, expert insights and interactive discussions, audiences will learn to recognise red flags, protect themselves, and understand why people fall under the spell of high-control groups. Whether you’re fascinated, fearful, or just curious, this is the ultimate deep dive into one of society’s most mysterious and controversial phenomena.
