Part of Brighton Comedy Festival, with Kennedy Street Recovery Hub - Find your confidence. Find your community. Find your funny - and maybe even find yourself.

Laughter really can be the best medicine! If you’ve experienced substance use challenges, this unique series of comedy & clowning workshops is for you. Through play, performance, & connection, you’ll discover the healing power of humour – & have a good laugh while you’re at it. Whether you’ve never set foot on a stage or you’re just curious to try something new, Finding Your Funny helps boost self-esteem, build confidence, & create a strong sense of belonging. It’s a safe & supported space to be silly & turn life’s messiness into moments of joy.

Join Spymonkey’s Petra Massey, a world-class comedy performer, teacher, & co-founder of the legendary international comedy troupe Spymonkey. With 40 years of experience in making people laugh, Petra brings warmth, wisdom, & a whole lot of fun to every workshop. Petra will be assisted by the inimitable clown Peter Mielniczek & Kennedy Street Recovery Hub’s Sam Hunt, certified professional recovery coach.
