- We all know shame is far from funny, but what if making friends with your shame was the key to creating world-changing comedy? In this vulnerable authentic talk, UK born comedy therapist and creator of Hilarapy, Lizzie Allan shares how a combination of therapy, comedy and community can transform our darkest lived experiences into comedy that helps us embrace our humanity.
Lizzie is the founder of Hilarapy, a unique pathway to healing from trauma and loss using comedy therapy and community. Her limitless passion and uncanny vision to re-imagine a healthy, comedy eco-system has led her to work with people from all walks of life from all over the world. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
A wise old sailor, after decades of observing people in his healing community, said “if you can laugh you have a chance and if you can laugh at yourself you’re well on your way”. Cool talk
We need more quality humor like this that also gets a message out.
We live to help people get their message out!
Lizzie was such a significant part of my journey and inspired and encouraged me to be brave enough to use comedy to share my story..resulting in an award winning show and starting to push for my dreams. You are quite hilariously brilliant with a beautiful heart Lizzie. Great talk! Xxx

Way to go Lizzie, your talk will help so many!!
Thank you for sharing your story. It is an inspiration for all those who stuff their feelings down and feel shame re mental illness.
Thanks for the affirmation. i appreciate you
Great talk, thank you, and I recognise that sense of euphoria from my own experience of being sectioned with bipolar. Although in my case I thought I was John the Baptist! It took me about 15 years and Stephen Fry's "coming out as bipolar" before I was able to go public myself.
Thank you for sharing your story too! You too are an inspiration x
Thanks, Jon. Isn't it a wonderful feeling to see another open up and share, and finally find the permission to own our own story? For me, it was one of the most exciting moments in my life, even though it was totally crazy. I enjoyed the idea of being the incarnation of Christ for a New York minute! Thanks for sharing your story. :-) I am not alone.
Fabulous new twist on how to break through shame and heal.
Absolutely brilliant! Thank you for your courage and inspiration. Keep up the amazing work. 🙏🏻
Stream of Consciousness writing, will be researching that thank you. This was a Great talk!
