COMEDY OR TRAGEDY - A SEMINAR ABOUT COMEDY & WELL-BEING
Much has been written about the “tears of a clown” syndrome and how many comedians live with depression and poor mental health. This seminar
will move the discussion forwards and explore how being a comedian can negatively impact on the health and well-being of an individual. Does the
lifestyle of a comedian contribute to poor well-being? What can comedians do to manage the intensity of life on the road? As part of Beyond a Joke.
