From my stand-up comedy instructor, David Granirer:

Stand Up For Mental Health: A Happy Neurotic Grad 2006
Sunday November 12
Arts Club Theatre, Granville Island

Featuring our 2006 class and alumni comics performing new material! Led by counsellor and stand up comic David Granirer, Stand Up For Mental Health teaches stand-up comedy to people with mental illness as a way of building confidence and fighting public stigma.

We’re also celebrating CBC’s The Passionate Eye documentary on us that will be aired on November 16 at 8:00 p.m. on channel 03. It’s a huge boost in the fight against stigma. And we’re launching David’s book The Happy Neurotic: How Fear and Angst Can Lead To Happiness and Success.
