The first and maybe only rule of comedy is that it has to be funny.But how do standups manage to wring laughter from life's darkest moments?Rich Hardisty's new show, Silly Boy, tackles his experience of mental illness, self-harm and anorexia.Who wants to sit and hear a guy talk about that? he asks.But if I can tell you something funny, and drip those bits in, you'll be like, Oh yeah, good point!' You're more open when you're laughing.
