CAN COMEDY REALLY IMPROVE WELLBEING?
"Laughter is a powerful psychological tool. There have been numerous studies over the years which show time and again that experiencing live comedy helps lower stress levels, boost resilience and reduces the risk of feelings of isolation. Live performances are a communal experience and can have a profound impact on mental and psychological well-being."

Psychological research has shown that Comedy can have positive physical effects on the human brain. It can decrease cortisol and produce dopamine, as well as releases large levels of serotonin, endorphins and good neuropeptides.
Studies have shown that Comedy can be a powerful tool for dealing with low-level trauma and grief (loss of a loved one, relationship breakdowns, loss of employment etc). It allows survivors to process their negative experiences in a less invasive manner, "reframing" the thoughts associated with their past in a healthy way through humour.
In fact, the NHS are currently trialling to see if Comedy could be "prescribed" as a potential alternative to pills for depression and anxiety, possibly lessening the reliance on mental health medication in future.
