THE EVENT

Stand Up for Mental Health™

Kingston Show

This unique event provides a platform for folks who live with mental health challenges to share their stories through stand-up comedy. Each of the comics complete a comedy training program to develop their set, under the coaching of Mental Health Counsellor, Comedian and Founder of Stand Up for Mental Health™, David Granirer.

By showcasing their talents and humor, these individuals not only entertain but also help break down stigma. Join our encouraging audience and show your support for mental health awareness, while enjoying a night of hilarious performances!
