David Granirer, a stand-up comic and counsellor at at Langara College in Vancouver, is the founder of Stand Up For Mental Health, a group that teaches stand-up comedy to people with mental illness as both a form of therapy and a method of building confidence. The group was on campus earlier this week showcasing its unique brand of humour. Dal News reporter Michelle Hampson caught up with some of the performers and students to see if mental illness really is a laughing matter. Videography by Bruce Bottomley
