Roar with laughter and amazement at this evening of magic and comedy: join host David Granirer; comics from Stand Up for Mental Health, including our favourite local funny guy Paul Decarie; with special guest the inventive and witty Merlin and his hilarious comedy and amazing magic. A magician of many years-standing, Merlin brings fun and fantasy, comedy and emotion to his awe-inspiring magic. Stand Up For Mental Health was founded by award-winning counselor, stand-up comic and author David Granirer who teaches stand-up comedy to people with mental illness. David and his comics look at the lighter side of taking meds, seeing counselors, getting diagnosed and surviving the mental health system. For more info: www.standupformentalhealth.com.
