“My aim is to promote the personal and professional benefits of laughter and humour to help reduce stress, depression and suicidality, while having a positive impact on workplaces”
Learning from world leaders
In 2014 Mark met with Professor Diego De Leo AO, a recognised world leader in the field of Suicidology, to discuss Mark’s theories on the use of humour and laughter in regards to increasing the mental wellness of the population.
Professor De Leo found Mark’s approach to suicide prevention quite unique, which subsequently led to Mark having been encouraged to apply to study at The Australian Institute for Suicide Research & Prevention (AISRAP) based at Griffith University.
International recognition
‘You need to prove how you could have a positive impact on 1 million Australians over a 3-year period’ That was the task set in 2013 by the Singularity University, a think tank based in NASA Ames Research Park for their inaugural Global Impact Competition ‘Australia’. Mark was named Runner Up for his proposal of using comedy and laughter to reduce rates of depression and suicide while also increasing workplace productivity. Dr Clarence N.W. Tan the Australian and Malaysian Ambassador for the Singularity University is now mentoring Mark to help him develop his ideas for societal change.
Bringing it all together
Mark’s Laughter Clinic Keynote Presentation and Workshops combine comedy and laughter with the latest information and research in Suicidology to produce a fun, yet very powerful experience. These include practical tools for participants to use in their personal and professional lives which are aimed at helping increase mental wellness and productivity.

Mark’s comical skills and confidence with the audience shine through in his delivery, and I love his passion of reminding people to laugh more often. Educational and guaranteed to leave a smile on your face!”
