Funny things??

I'm 44 and have been feeling pretty crap for the last few years after PND traumatic birth, looking after a hard work toddler with zero support, marriage problems, parent with Alzheimer's. More recently I've been really low due to perimenopause and general world is shit / pandemic - climate change / Brexit woes.

Among lots of steps like HRT, exercise, therapy etc I'm trying to tap into more things that make me laugh. It's tricky because I don't think I've belly laughed for years but I've started with things that I've laughed at before including "I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue", "The Thick of It", and Bill Bryson books - random taste maybe!

So whilst it's a very subjective area, I'd be really interested in any recommendations for things that make you laugh out loud, such as tv shows / films, books, podcasts, books etc.

I really like Taskmaster (start from series 1) and Would I Lie to You (check out any with Bob Mortimer on).

The Parenting Hell podcast is good.

Thank you. I've seen WILTY but it's not made me laugh out loud, but will try taskmaster and parenting hell.

I second Taskmaster - it's reliably silly. Pretty much every episode has at least one task that renders me helpless with giggles.
