JOYtalk is a talk, seminar or workshop written by comedian Joy Carter and is the culmination of over 10 years of work, reading and research. In 2015 Joy was asked to write a chapter in the book "Does God LOL?" and she became fascinated. Joytalk is about improving mental health, resilience, wellbeing and creativity. Joytalk helps people of all ages and ethnicities learn, understand and build knowledge and experience into this field.  The talk helps people produce what Joy calls a 'JOY architecture' because laughter is actually an immersive, energy EMF, multidimensional, magnetic eternal life force that we simply cannot ignore in these challenging times anymore. Society needs this.

Using her own stand-up comedy material as an entry point audiences not only laugh and listen but also go home with a clear strategy to help them create and develop their own humour structure, protocol and architecture. Joy comes with a huge wealth of learning including adoption, mental health, racism and dealing with abuse. Joy works directly with the homeless, abused women and charities to help vulnerable adults see better outcomes through humour. Joy has also worked with business and the corporate sector to help employees create better workplace cohesion, creative problem solving and productivity as a whole, as humour changes atmospheres in all areas.

Science has proved we have around 60,000 thoughts a day, of which 75% are repetitive and 95% are negative.

Humour is an art form, science, rhythm, psychology and life blueprint and much more.

We all need to learn the 'Art of Happy' and it starts with a giggle!

I worked with Emma Ramos an awards winning Mexican/American actress/celebrity on her global Ted Talk following her own experience of using Joy to overcome trauma. In her case Emma was kidnapped and threatened with extreme violence in Mexico but after many days she used humour and they let her go.
