Comedy Therapy Live
4 comedians and 1 psychiatrist come together to solve your problems!
After becoming a box office hit, selling out major theatres in Europe the format is coming to London.
In each show, the public shares their problems anonymously, and the comedians discuss them and offer solutions. Usually unorthodox or very practical but always hilarious. And then, our mental health expert shares his professional opinion on what could be a more reasonable solution.
From the light-hearted to the profound, Comedy Therapy delivers therapeutic laughter and a uniqueness that’s as good for the mind as it is for the soul.
And this show’s illustrious cast includes:
