Story

Help Veterans Heal Through Laughter – Support Project COMEDY

Project COMEDY empowers UK Armed Forces veterans to find healing, confidence, and renewed purpose through the art of stand-up comedy. Thanks to your incredible support, we’ve already secured our venues. Now, we need your help to take the next bold step: Go on tour and attend future festivals - all while additionally raising money for our Parent Charity Project RECCE.

To deliver truly unforgettable shows, we need to fund essential production elements—backdrops, posters, flyers, and a robust marketing campaign. More importantly, we’re establishing a Well-being Fund to support veterans on low incomes, ensuring no one is left behind on their journey.

Project COMEDY isn’t just a performance—it's a lifeline. It has transformed and saved lives by giving veterans a new voice, a stage, and a supportive community.

Following on from our amazing success at the 2025 Edinburgh Festival Fringe , the world’s biggest celebration of comedy, we have three key goals:

Inspire more veterans to join Project COMEDY and begin their recovery journey.

Showcase the incredible talent within the UK Armed Forces veteran community.

Launch our veterans toward professional careers in comedy.

And by delivering these amazing shows, we get to highlight the life-changing work of our parent charity, Project RECCE, which helps veterans transition into secure employment within the construction industry.

Your donation won’t just help us stage shows—it will change lives. You’ll help us amplify veteran voices, bring laughter to audiences, and show the world the strength and resilience of those who served.

Together, let’s give veterans a platform, a purpose—and a punchline.

Donate now. Be part of the transformation.
