Most
people think you have to be nuts to do stand-up comedy. However, Counselor and
Standup Comic David Granirer offers it as a form of therapy.
In
David's Stand Up For Mental Health course, mental health consumers turn their
problems into comedy, then perform their acts at conferences, treatment centres,
psych wards, and for various mental health organizations.
Stand
Up For Mental Health is self supporting. Please click the button below to donate

Our big Spring
Gala to introduce our 2008 class is this April 13, 2008 and we are all gearing
up for a fantastic show. No swearing or raunchy trash
talking rants here -

jokes that everyone in the family can relate Make sure you book your ticket now
as they sold out last year.

What
people are saying about David's work teaching stand up comedy to people with mental
illness:
"As you
could tell from the audience response, last nite was an overwhelming success.
I think the quality of the talent was superior to what you'd find at a local talent
night at Yuk Yuks."
Steve
Lurie, Executive Director, Canadian Mental Health Association, Toronto Branch
About
this Course Though Stand-up Comedy Clinic isn’t intended as therapy,
I’ve had students overcome long standing depressions and phobias, not to
mention increasing their confidence and self-esteem. There’s something incredibly
healing about telling a roomful of people exactly who you are and having them
laugh and cheer.” More
