Have a problem? Let a comic help you work it out
When you have a problem, you can talk to a friend, a family member, or even a therapist. But sometimes, the best way to work through your issues is to have a laugh about them.
At comedy therapy, you can bring your problems to the stage.
- Grab a cheap ticket.
- Write down your problem on a piece of paper.
- Put it in the bucket at the front of the stage.
- Comedians will then come up, and take turns pulling problems at random from the bucket, and turning them into hilarious comedy routines.
- Sit back and enjoy the show, as your problem is turned into a hilarious comedy routine by some of the best comedians in the country.
Will you go away with all your problems solved? Probably not. But you will go away with a smile on your face, and a new perspective on your issues.
Why comedy therapy?
In the fast passed world we live in, it’s easy to get caught up in the stress and anxiety of everyday life. Comedy therapy is a chance to take a step back, have a laugh, and remember that we’re all in this together.
We take serious problems and give silly answers, or we take silly problems and give serious answers. Either way, you will leave the show feeling lighter, happier, and more connected to the world around you.
Bring your mates
This is a crowd favourite, so bring your mates along for a night of laughs and catharsis. It’s a great way to bond over shared experiences, and to support each other through the ups and downs of life.
