A hilarious, spoof wellbeing conference for dark and difficult times with immersive, interactive workshops. In an imagined Britain, somewhere in the not too distant future… post Brexit, post Covid-19, post NHS, healthcare has been merged with the arts and laughter is the ONLY medicine. Follow the fragile journey of fellow delegate Sid, as he navigates the highs and lows of being human and discovers enlightenment in liberating his inner clown. Bravely tackling mental health through connection, play and laughter as therapy and throwing the doors for discussion wide open about this important subject that touches so many.
“Loved the show! I wasn’t even through the first workshop and my jaw was already tight from laughing! Immediately knew it’d be a great evening!”
“Absolutely bloody marvelous.”
“Great event. Me and my dad both go through depression. Both my Mum and I heard him laugh out loud after over 10 months now because of this event. It goes beyond cultures and touches our hearts not only for those going through depression but also for those who take care of them. Thank you!”
“Loved everything about it – so much spirit. You lifted us all up! Thank you so much!”
