Andy’s Story

Mental Health Awareness Week matters to us because behind the banter, there are real battles being fought every day.

For a lot of serving personnel and veterans, talking openly doesn’t always come naturally. But sitting in a room with people who understand, having a laugh, telling stories, and realising you’re not alone… that’s a powerful start.

Project COMEDY isn’t therapy.
It’s connection.
It’s purpose.
It’s community.
And sometimes, laughter is the first crack of light in a very dark week.

If you’re struggling, isolated, or just missing your tribe, come along. No pressure. No judgement. Just good people and good laughs.

Big night for the Project COMEDY crew tonight!

Huge shoutout to JimBob, who takes on the New Act of the Year Semi-Finals this evening at the 📍Hawk & Buckle, Etwall.

JimBob’s been putting in the work and smashing sets all year, and tonight is another massive step forward. Proud to have him representing Project COMEDY, using stand-up to build confidence, connection, and community through laughter.

If you’re local, get down, support live comedy, and cheer him on!

Part 4 of our "Meet The Team" series is here! This week, we’re spotlighting promoter, self-proclaimed critic, and master of dad jokes, Ian Winston.

Ian is a huge part of what keeps Project COMEDY moving forward, helping support live comedy nights, veteran performers, and the growing comedy community behind the scenes. With a sharp eye for stand-up, a love of classic dad jokes, and plenty of banter, Ian brings humour, honesty, and support to the team while helping create opportunities for veterans and civilians to connect through comedy.

Join us in celebrating the man who somehow manages to heckle and support comedians at the same time!
