8. What is the show ‘Burnout’ about?

Burnout is a raw, funny, and honest look at what happens when we keep saying “yes” until there’s nothing left to give.

Through storytelling, laughter, and just the right dose of uncomfortable truth, Burnout shines a light on the patterns that push us over the edge, people-pleasing, perfectionism, ignoring our limits, and offers a more compassionate way back to ourselves. It’s not just a comedy show; it’s a powerful reframe on what productivity and worth really mean.

15. What are the well-being benefits of laughter and using comedy in therapy?

Laughter is one of the most powerful tools for well-being. Physiologically, it reduces stress hormones, boosts endorphins, and can even improve cardiovascular health. But its deeper magic lies in how it shifts perspective. In therapy and personal development, comedy helps us access difficult emotions without becoming overwhelmed. It allows us to safely explore pain, shame, or trauma by giving it shape, voice and sometimes, a punchline.

Comedy creates distance between “myself” “my inner voices” and “my story,” helping us reframe limiting beliefs and release stuck emotion. It bypasses resistance, invites connection, and brings light to even the darkest corners of our experience. When we laugh at what once disempowered us, we begin to reclaim our narrative. And laughing with other people gives us a collective ‘me too’. That’s why using humour in therapeutic settings, whether formal therapy, psychodrama, or personal development stand-up, can be both transformative and deeply humanising.

16. How can I support Becky’s work?
