The Company
We are an independent limited company that offers nationwide opportunities for older people to explore and develop comedy writing and performing via a network of professional comedy trainers and facilitators. We aim to reduce social isolation, challenge stereotypes associated with ageing and give older people a forum to explore their issues through comedy.
