Best Medicine event on the first anniversary of lockdown
A series of online events exploring the links between comedy and mental health is to be launched on the anniversary of the first lockdown.
Ruby Wax, Tim Key and Felicity Ward are among the comics taking part in the Best Medicine Festival, which aims to celebrate the way in which comedy can both destigmatise and raise awareness of mental health issues.
The festival kicks off on Tuesday March 23 with its keynote event: a panel discussion with comedians Ruby Wax, Kemah Bob, Ahir Shah, psychiatrist and comedian Dr Benji Waterhouse, comedian and Angel Comedy co-founder and psychotherapist Sarah Pearce, and chaired by Martin Willis.
