When Humor Meets Healing: Stand Up for Mental Health (SMH)

Founded by award-winning counselor and stand-up comic David Granirer, who himself lives with bipolar, SMH teaches stand-up comedy to people with mental health challenges as a way of building confidence and fighting public stigma.

Granirer, in partnership with Encompass has trained six first-time comedians to do stand-up comedy about their mental health journeys.

The comics will perform on September 5 at Laurel Ridge Community College from 7-9 PM.
