C.A.L.M Stand Up to Stop Suicide Ep 1

This is the first highlights reel from the C.A.L.M Comedy Gig @ The Clapham Grand, June 17th. Go to www.thecalmzone.net for more info on how we work. Over the past four years, more young men aged 15-35 have died through suicide than from any other single cause, a disturbing fact that we at CALM (the Campaign Against Living Miserably) aim to change. We offer help -- and entertainment to these men via our website and campaign to change the opinions of society so that depressed young men feel able to ask for, and find help when they need it. We exist to challenge the, strong and silent stereotype, because being silent isn't being strong.

It's unfair the pro suicide people can't really defend themselves because there all dead.

Don't kill yourseft.

Lock the door.

Stick a Bill Hicks record on.

Listen to some Pink Floyd.

Paint, draw, compose, get creative.

Wait for childhood to end.

A lot of us survived the teenage years that way. Peace.

They really should target the causes rather than the outcome

My GP committed suicide.

@keflar5 C.A.L.M. is an organisation based in Britain, that offers help to men who are resident in Britain. It wouldn't make sense to include non-British deaths in a comparison, for the same reason that it wouldn't make sense to include non-british suicides.

@hellcat059 But stay away from The Final Cut.

I heard a joke once: Man goes to doctor. Says he's depressed. Says life is harsh and cruel. Says he feels all alone in a threatening world. Doctor says, "Treatment is simple. The great clown Pagliacci is in town tonight. Go see him. That should pick you up." Man bursts into tears. Says, "But doctor... I am Pagliacci." Good joke. Everybody laugh.

Never really liked David Baddiel much before (had nothing against him either), but my admiration for him has just gone up 1000%

[qwertyuiopdan1]

[touchitplease]

i hate ed byrne

[keflar5]

Concidering i said that already i think its YOU who is the cretin....or should that be moron. He didn't say British caulties because he thought he didn't need to, thus my point. Perhaps you would like me to draw you a fucking diagram or fashion my statement into a plastic droo-proof popup book? PRICK

He's talking about the British casualties, you cretin.
