“Laughter is the greatest music in the world and audiences come to my shows to escape the cares of life. They don't want to be embarrassed or insulted. They want to laugh and so do I - which is probably why it works.”
Sir Ken Dodd

Sir Ken was a great believer in the health benefits of laughter and that good comedy is medicinal.  The late Eric Sykes used to say that “One show of Ken Dodd’s is worth six months on the National Health”. The Comedy Trust have been using comedy as a tool to aid health and wellbeing since it was founded in Liverpool in 2002 and they will be running a series of online workshops on the day.

We are busily making plans for this year's Doddy Day. Watch this space for some big announcements!

To help celebrate Doddy Day, The Comedy Trust are running a selection of our critically acclaimed wellbeing workshops.

Our friendly and light-hearted sessions, delivered by comedians, take a look at how we can use humour to enhance our wellbeing, build resilience and make positive connections with others. And best of all, they’re completely free!

We'll be announcing more details nearer the time but if you'd like more info please drop us a line on info@thecomedytrust.com or check out www.thecomedytrust.com
