Research, public engagement, teaching and comedy in rooms where people can ask questions back.
Featured in 2026
SOLVE at the Scottish Parliament
The SOLVE bust and response framework will be featured at the Scottish Parliament in 2026 as part of a Scottish Hazards event marking World Suicide Prevention Day.
The installation makes workplace distress visible through the words people may carry but struggle to say aloud. It forms part of a wider conversation about safer first responses to disclosures of suicidal distress.
Comedy and live appearances
The State We’re In, my interactive topical comedy panel show, debuted at the Glasgow International Comedy Festival and played the Edinburgh Fringe in 2026. Current comedy dates are maintained on the comedy website rather than duplicated here.
Selected past event
Laughter Lives
Laughter Lives brought comedy, community and suicide-prevention fundraising together at Glasgow University Union in 2024, supporting research by the Healthy Working Lives Group and Andy’s Man Club.
