Comedy Performance training for veterans | Latest news

The Comedy School in partnership with our service and other organisations is offering comedy performance training for veterans who have previously experienced mental health difficulties. 

Comedy for Veterans will use group work to foster key skills of problem solving, developing team-working skills and building confidence. These sessions will encourage you to challenge your own perceived limitations by stepping outside your comfort zones within a safe and respectful environment.

As a form of story-telling, comedy naturally encourages the improvement of communication skills: by stretching language and the imagination, listening to others and using humour to see experiences in a new light, very positive results can be seen in a short space of time. Through working in team-based interventions, this can improve self-esteem and develop a sense of belonging.

The Programme will be led by industry professionals & overseen by Keith Palmer MBE, Director & Founder of The Comedy School.
