BBC Radio 4 - Heidi Regan: No Worries, Episode 2

Stand-up from comedienne Heidi Regan, who fights worry with jokes.

Stand-up from the comedienne who realises that repressing worries could actually lead to them bubbling up uninvited. From 2021.

As someone who tends to worry in 'normal' times, the pandemic of course offered some exciting new areas of exploration for the anxious mind. 

Having a partner who is a GP has both helped and not helped Heidi with that: worrying about her being safe, but also, yay, on tap medical advice! 

That said, examining rashes of a loved one over dinner isn’t really the romance her partner signed up for. 

As Heidi and her partner ponder some of the big questions in life, Heidi's brain resorts, as it always does, to distracting them (and the audience) with increasingly silly jokes as she makes an argument for the pros and cons of joking your way through life.

In this episode she realises that repressing worries could actually lead to them bubbling up uninvited.

Written and performed by Heidi Regan.
