Hello my fellow steemians
I post about this a lot but it is my sincere belief that laughter is quite often the best type of medicine for those that are feeling down or depressed, or looking for happiness in life. I find that stand up comedy for me personally is something that has really helped me overcome my battles with depression and anxiety. Currently the 'Adelaide Fringe' is going on where I live in Adelaide and I am performing in a few shows to help out my friends. I performed in Bill Egan's show 'Arguably the Best Show' as well as Loc Tran's show 'Loc Tran Anchorman', both which are hilarious shows and both which I have thoroughly enjoyed part-taking in.
I'm not saying that doing stand up comedy is for everyone because it certainly isn't but laughing and part-taking in shows can really help boost your self esteem and enlighten your mood. I would love my fellow steemians to come and support me during a show in Adelaide, or potentially interstate in Australia or even overseas when I get the funds to make a trip away. I would love to make you laugh, smile and be happy. I have made many wonderful friends through comedy and having a passion like this and I highly recommend to anyone who is looking to expand their social network, I recommend that you part-take in a community, a passion or a hobby of yours as you will find people who share similar interests and loves in life.
Thanks to everyone for reading this post, and I can't wait to hear all your comments and feedback!
Love Henry
I wish I was in Australia I love live comedy! Maybe you could post some high lights after? :)
Ah well maybe you should come over!!! I could do that, I just need someone to film it :)
Excellent advice, Henry. Making something; whether that's crafting a well delivered set, or building a community, is fantastic for the soul.
Too much consuming and not enough producing is a recipe for misery.
Thanks Matt I really appreciate that. I really like helping others who are struggling and I think a community is pivotal, even something as great as steemit! Btw I will not be able to make the next meeting unfourtunately as I have work, but will defs be keen to get along to the next one as I am really keen to learn how to grow and develop my community on steemit :)
Last Thursday of each month.
We'll be there :)
I am in love with the stand up comedy, agree 100% a good laugh is the medicine for many problems!
Where I live (Italy), it is not yet a famous art like in USA, your country or England..but I am very positive about it becoming quite popular here as well :)!
