It's commonly said those who make people laugh the most are secretly the saddest. One Sacramento-based comedy show aims to explore the idea with humor.
The article from ABC10 discusses how stand-up comedians are increasingly focusing on serious and often taboo subjects like mental health in their routines. Comedians like Mark Normand, who has openly talked about his own mental health struggles, are using humor to address these issues, making them more approachable and less stigmatized. The piece highlights how comedy can serve as a therapeutic tool, not just for the audience but also for the comedians themselves, providing a platform to discuss personal experiences with depression, anxiety, and other mental health challenges. This shift in comedy content reflects a broader societal movement towards openness about mental health, with comedians playing a pivotal role in destigmatizing these conversations through laughter and shared human experiences.
