Welcome to the Sh*t, Shower & Self-Care Podcast!

In this episode I am joined by an award winning comedian and author Dave Chawner.

Dave talks about his lived experience of Anorexia and his experiences of services as well as his own journey into being a stand-up comedian and going on to share his experience with the world via his book "Weight Expectations".

He gives an insight into why he is so passionately an advocate for mental health and how he uses his skills to train and support others to be able to talk about mental health in a non-threatening way.

We also discuss what he gets from comedy and why this is akin to blood letting and slapping on the proverbial leeches.

Dave also talks about an inspirational male figure from fiction in the shape of the late, great Robin William's legendary performance as Daniel Hillard. Also known as Mrs Doubtfire.
