What part does humour play in keeping your mental health on track? Can a lighthearted joke lift you in difficult times, or does dark humour give you some relief? Is "losing your sense of humour" a useful early earning sign? Or could you even be missing your vocation as a comedian?
In this lively episode, James and Em from the Recovery Devon team are joined by Dr Maggie Irving, comedy teacher and performer, Dan "Fitz" Fitzpatrick from the South West standup circuit, and Bryn Thomas, a student and friend of both, who is learning the craft.
Maggie offers all sorts of exciting courses to explore comedy in your life here:
