Jay Saunders and Nick Cheng are from Project Comedy; a part of Project Recce, which helps Military Veterans and Service Leavers to move from military service to civilian employment. 

As they describe it, “military humour is more than just entertainment—it’s a survival tool. It forges camaraderie, boosts morale, and keeps teams strong in the toughest conditions. Now, through Project COMEDY, veterans can harness that same power of humour to improve their well-being, master new skills, and stand out in civilian careers.”

This is the first year that the Project Comedy team has brought shows to Edinburgh. The Fringe can offer more, so I listen to Jay and Nick as they talk about the power of healing that the Fringe can offer, how the Fringe can help introduce the Project to a broader audience, and how this will help build the project for the future.
