This lecture presents the results of a pilot study designed to develop and evaluate a stand-up comedy workshop series for eating disorder recovery.  The workshops were designed as fun way to develop vital recovery skills, including building confidence, making connections, and overcoming stigma. Recovery can be a very daunting prospect, so this course aims to reach demographics who we know may find it more difficult to engage with traditional recovery programs, including men and underrepresented groups. We call for more transdisciplinary collaboration to move research about comedy and mental health forward, introducing this unique, exciting, and low-cost approach.

This research is funded by the British Academy/Leverhulme.
