Recovery Through Comedy: Royal British Legion's programme helping veterans at Edinburgh Fringe

A programme run by the Royal British Legion helping veterans through stand-up comedy has seen former service personnel perform routines at Edinburgh Fringe.

Veterans complete workshops with professional comedians to hone their craft, drawing on their experience in the military to put together a routine, before taking to the stage to try their material out for real.

The Recovery Through Comedy programme is designed to help improve confidence and wellbeing, raising a smile among the veterans and the audience.
