Comedian-Turned Suicide-Prevention Speaker - Humor & Mental Health

Laughing Through the Darkness Again with Frank King on Suicide Prevention "Comedian-turned-suicide-prevention speaker Frank King joins host Emma again to map the unexpected intersection of humour and mental health. Frank traces his journey from the comedy circuit to TEDx stages and keynote work, revealing how lived experience, suicide loss, a personal attempt, and living with mental illness became the foundation for teaching suicide prevention. He explains why storytelling and well-timed levity help audiences absorb heavy material, shares an impactful military engagement story, and stresses the power of honest conversations. This episode blends warmth, practicality and hard-won wisdom to show how laughter can open the door to life-saving dialogue.
