Barking Tales: Mental Health Comedy Night
Wanna have a good belly laugh whilst talking about a subject that many shy away from? Then this mental health comedy night is definitely for you!
Comedy thrives on difficult experiences and our mental health is the source of some of the most difficult experiences that life throws our way. Maybe comedy can help us cope. Maybe comedy can give us new ways of thinking about our mental health. Or maybe comedy just give us a good laugh and a bloody good evening out, which is just what we need sometimes!
Join comedians your host Harriet Dyer and her guests Louise Young and Daliso Chaponda as they take us through some of the struggles that they have faced with their own mental health with a humorous spin that will get you thinking and giggling at the same time.
Harriet Dyer (The Russell Howard Hour, BBC3, BBC Live at The Fringe, BBC Radio 4, BBC Knock Knock, BBC Ouch, Absolute Radio) is an award winning comedian, writer and mental health advocate. Harriet has bipolar and does a lot of comedy work around mental health. Her debut, solo, hour-long show, Barking at Aeroplanes was about her struggles and adventures within mental health. She performed it at Edinburgh Fringe Festival to critical acclaim and continues to perform it all over the country to date. From this the multi-award-winning mixed bill show, Barking Tales was founded.
