About this Episode

In the final episode of their Institutionalization Spotlight Season, Alice and Lucy welcome Rob Gee - a former mental health nurse turned stand-up poet who uses humour as a powerful tool for empowerment.

Rob shares fascinating insights into institutional care, discussing how creativity and comedy can help people reclaim their voice and dignity. Through hilarious and poignant stories from his work in mental health wards, prisons, and care homes, Rob explores the complex dynamics of care, burnout, and human connection.

Expect laugh-out-loud moments, thoughtful reflections on disability, and a nuanced look at how humour can be a radical act of resistance against dehumanizing systems.
