The tour follows the company scooping the Mental Health Fringe Award and Pleasance Best Newcomer Award at last year's Edinburgh Festival.
Joint Artistic Director of Wildcard, and writer of Electrolyte, James Meteyard said: "When we founded the company in 2015 we had big dreams of taking our work to the regions and we’re beside ourselves that these dreams are becoming a reality.
"Mental health is rightfully becoming something which is acceptable to talk about and we’re delighted to be part of the conversation.
"This show deals with tough subjects but has an uplifting message; we want to help people know that it’s okay not to be okay and promote the importance of community in combating poor mental health."
