| What
students are saying about David's work teaching stand up comedy to people with
mental illness: |
|
"I have been part of Stand Up For Mental Health for the past year. David
is an awesome teacher, somehow he has convinced me I'm funny in spite of all my
inner messages. I do hope to go on and pursue comedy and I am slowly working
to pursue that. Anything that may come out of this venture I owe to David and
his great talent to teach so many diverse people under so many different situations."

classes and time spent with our crew keeps me laughing through lifes struggles."

| If it wasn't
for David and his course/training I would still be saying I'd like to try standup
comedy...now I can say I've done it and can't wait to do it again! Thank
you David from the bottom of my heart you've made one of my dreams come true,
now if you could get me the winning Lottery numbers... |

| Before the course
I had a stigma about even admitting I might have a mental illness, but now Im
honored to belong to such an amazing group of people." |

| Learn to laugh at yourself. If
you can learn to see the silly side of things you can laugh instead of lashing
out. Stand Up For Mental Health helped me do that and it helps a lot.
