Day 226 - 5:15pm, 15 August 2019
I saw the comedian Harriet Dyer perform today. She was exploring mental health issues through her stand up comedy. She reminded me of Robin Williams, with her exuberance, and her ability to scrunch and rescrunch her face in service of her comedy. I could not help wondering if retelling her less-than-happy experiences over and over sets her free or means she never really moves on from them? I am sure in giving voice to mental health issues she will help others to speak and to laugh too, maybe that is enough to give her meaning. And, after all, is that not what we are all looking for.
