Mick Coyle is joined by Siobhan Roxburgh and comedian Sam Avery to discuss The Comedy Trust's new "Laughter after Loss" project.
The scheme is open to anyone dealing with grief, or who've suffered a loss, to explore their experiences, using comedy as a tool to connect with other people and open up the conversation about grief, loss or other emotions experienced in the weeks, months and years after losing someone.
Anyone taking part in the project will get the opportunity to perform on stage as part of the Liverpool Comedy Festival in November.
Details of how to sign up to the course are available online on the Comedy Trust's website. and some participants will get the opportunity to appear on stage as part of the Liverpool Comedy Festival 2022.
Also on the show this week, Mick has news of THREE awards he's picked up at the UK Commercial Radio News Awards 2022, including two for the #MentalHealthMonday Iron Men project.
