Led by counselor, stand-up comic, and author of The Happy Neurotic: How Fear and Angst Can Lead To Happiness and Success, David Granirer, Stand Up For Mental Health teaches stand up comedy to people with mental illness as a way of building confidence and fighting public stigma, prejudice, and discrimination.

Our shows look at the lighter side of taking meds, seeing counselors, getting diagnosed, and surviving the mental health system. We perform at conferences, treatment centers, psych wards, and public education events in partnership with numerous mental health organizations.

David, who himself suffers from depression says: If you have bipolar disorder, depression, schizophrenia, obsessive compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder or other mental health diagnoses, you're a perfect fit for this program!

Not only do you have to be nuts to do stand-up comedy,
in our program it's a prerequisite!
