Isn’t having a good old belly laugh just the best thing?! Humour brightens up our lives. It’s fun, frivolous, fanciful, frolicsome, farcical and, well, freakin’ funny. But what if humour is also foundational to our flourishing and fulfilment?

This week we’re taking humour seriously. We talk to psychologist Nettie Cullen about what humour does for us and Petra sits down with her old comedy mate, David Downs, who used humour to get through an otherwise grim cancer journey. And we even hear from some of you, accosted by us while relaxing in a park.

Oh and we promise you a hearty helping of hilarity along the way!

James Acaster - Undercover Cop bit

Sarah Pascoe - ADHD Diagnosis bit

Jerry Seinfeld - It Is What it Is bit

Guy Montgomery - A Problem Shared bit
