Comedy Shows Focus on Addiction Recovery - Addiction/Recovery eBulletin

WE ARE NOT A GLUM LOT –

April 9, 2025 – Recovering from addiction may not be a laughing matter but Aims Community College students hope they can give their peers a reason to smile. They said they wanted to bring the  Second Chance Comedy Show with the intention of breaking the stigmas surrounding addiction, emphasizing that recovery isn’t a “one size fits all” experience.

“It feels really good to bring something like this to Aims,” McCasland said. “We care about students’ mental health, their sense of belonging, and helping people feel like they’re not alone — and this show does all of that in such a fun way.”

“We’re excited to bring something different to campus — something that’s fun and still meaningful,” Monsivais said. “Comedy is such a cool way to talk about recovery without it feeling heavy.”
