Synopsis

Girl is an old soul; but as a British, mixed-race, working-class, queer woman in her mid-twenties, it wasn’t exactly her choice to grow up so fast. Is humour a good healthy coping mechanism for deteriorating mental health? Maybe not. But hey, at least she’s finally talking about it with someone! Things I Can Laugh About Now is a tragicomedy that contains themes of domestic abuse, suicide, mental illness, and has strong language from the offset… but like most things in life, we’ll learn to laugh that all off.
