About this show
Chris Groves turns grief into something refreshingly uplifting and unexpectedly funny. Blending sharp stand-up with heartfelt honesty in a life-affirming hour about loss, family and finding laughter when you need it most. He dives into strange, awkward and oddly funny moments following a loss, from dealing with practicalities to the unexpected ways grief shows up in everyday life. Open, warm, and genuinely funny, this is a show for anyone who’s lost someone – or just enjoys laughing at life (and death). You might not leave healed, but you will have laughed for a bit!
