Alex Farrow's comedy writers room

Alexander Farrow is raising money for Oxfordshire Mind

Writers room and director's notes · 16 November 2022

1 in 4 of us will have a mental health problem at some point in our lives. We can help. Oxfordshire Mind provides help, support & information to anyone affected by mental health problems. We have services all over the county, bringing support & advice to people in our local communities.

Story

I do lots of writing and director work for new and experienced comics so I thought I'd like to use some of these skills for a charity I care about.

Message over a 5-10min comedy clip to alexander.farrow@gmail.com, donate to Mind using this page and I'll msg you some notes :) Or get in contact for longer sets and projects

I started raising money for Oxfordshire Mind while performing with Jericho Comedy way back in 2015 and I'm on target to raise £200,000 through production and performing by the beginning of 2025

I've coached multiple finalists in the Chortle Student Award and recently directed Chelsea Birkby's award-winning 2022 Edinburgh Fringe show, 'No more Mr Nice Chelsea'. Seek her out on all the usual social media channels, she also works closely with Oxfordshire Mind. Over 3000 people came to see my solo show in 2023 at the Edinburgh Fringe with similar sellouts in previous years. My jokes have found their way into best-of lists in the Times as well as programs such as Mock the Week (RIP).

Oxfordshire Mind helps over 30,000 people with mental health challenges every year. They promote good mental health through the provision of high-quality services and campaigning for positive change. Their services include housing, talking therapies, benefits advice, a confidential and free information line, courses (such as ‘practical ways to wellbeing’), physical activity programmes, volunteering opportunities, and they facilitate over 60 peer-support groups each week.
