For over 20 years, we have worked with more than ten thousand people to use humour and laughter to improve their mental health, increase confidence and develop new coping strategies.

Who We’ve Worked With

Why Laughter Is Important

Laughter increases the intake of oxygen

stimulates the heart, lungs and muscles, and increases the feel-good endorphins released by your brain.

Laughter can make it easier to cope

with difficult situations and reframe challenges in your mind.

Laughter has been shown to ease

feelings of depression and anxiety by reducing stress hormones like cortisol and epinephrine.

Laughter is a universal language

and has the ability to connect, remove hierarchies and create lasting relationships.

Get Involved in Comedy

Now in its 23rd year, Liverpool Comedy Festival offers a unique and exciting array of community comedy events – workshops, classes, panels, academic discussions PLUS the annual celebration of Sir Ken Dodd with the Doddy Day Happiness Show!
