Stand Up for Mental Health
November 30 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
$22 – $33
Join us for a night of laughter and awareness at our Stand Up for Mental Health™ comedy 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 amateur comics – Heather Armstrong, Janet Richards, Luisa Sorrentino, Holly Von Michalofski, Johanna Goodfellow and Kari Fraser – have completed a 6-week comedy training program to develop their set, under the coaching of Mental Health Counsellor and Comedian David Granirer – Founder of Stand Up for Mental Health™.
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. David will emcee the evening from Vancouver (virtually) in this creative and intimate behind-the-scenes show. In the second half of the evening, enjoy honest conversation about the SMH experience and living well with mental health challenges during our panel discussion.
This event is hosted by We Thrive Wellness Centre in Downtown Belleville.
Thank you to our generous supporters – Bell Let’s Talk, The City of Belleville Arts & Culture Grant, The Enrichment Centre for Mental Health, Stand Up for Mental Health™ Downtown Belleville, Bay of Quinte, and We Thrive Wellness Centre – for their ongoing encouragement and contributions.
Please Note: The comedy sets in this show were performed in June 2024 at the BIG SHOW. If you were at that show we welcome you back! Just please know the jokes are the same, and will be until a new troupe is trained in spring 2025. Thank you for your support!
