The Comedy Trust

The Comedy Trust was established in 2002 with the mission to create happier, healthier people through the power of laughter and comedy.

Our main aims include: 

- Encouraging participation and engagement in the arts for all
- Exploring the relationship between comedy, humour and health and wellbeing
- Nurturing talent and developing creativity, confidence and communication skills

- Making high quality art accessible to all regardless of gender, race, sexuality, age religious or political viewpoints

Throughout the year we work extensively throughout the Liverpool City Region and across the UK developing and delivering groundbreaking workshop programmes in the education sector, local communities, health settings and businesses alongside curating Liverpool's annual celebration of comedy and arts through the Liverpool Comedy Festival. We are also the brains behind the newly established Doddy Day. 
 The Comedy Trust is well respected throughout the UK for its’ groundbreaking work which employs the skills of professional arts practitioners and comedians with a background in promoting positive health and wellbeing to develop programmes that are accessible, creative, and in many instances, life changing.

​Our main initiatives include:

Feeling Funny programme: Comedy programme designed to improve the mental wellbeing of participants through a range of comedy workshops, monthly clubs and drop in sessions. Sessions currently running include the Feeling Funny Youth programme designed for secondary years, Feeling Funny Mums for new mothers or mothers to be at risk of / living with poor mental health and Still Feeling Funny, a club designed for men struggling with mental health issues established from our men's Feeling Funny programme. 

Workplace Training: Workshop programmes and resources to support workplace wellbeing.
