Hosted by comedian and Applied Humor and Play Professional Malcolm Grissom, The Lighten Up Project explores how laughter, applied improv, and genuine human connection can help us navigate life’s heaviest challenges.
Through honest conversations with comedians, educators, leaders, and mental-health advocates, Malcolm uncovers practical ways to reduce stress, interrupt isolation, strengthen relationships, and create cultures where people feel safe, seen, and supported.
Because healing does not always have to feel heavy—and serious change can begin with a moment of laughter.
Laugh louder. Lead lighter. Live brighter.
Laughter can open a door to connection. It is not a replacement for appropriate professional care.
