I’ve shared the comedy stage with Greg Langford AKA Uncle G for over 10 years, and he’s never impressed me more than when we recently spoke together at a mental health event. While I knew of his family’s struggles with addiction, mental illness, and suicide, it never hit home with me until I heard him tell his story in person. I was taken aback by how much tragedy his family faced and how he dealt with it with humor and resilience. Greg’s message that “ once you can joke about a situation, you move from victim to survivor” really struck home with me. His ability to use humor as a bridge to confront uncomfortable topics is amazing. What most impressed me was that he left the audience with a list of action items, and resources to help them with their own battles.

Greg recently spoke at one of our events, and his presentation made a lasting impression on everyone there. He spoke openly of his family’s challenges with mental illness, addiction, and suicide in a way that touched us all. What’s amazing about his talk was that he spoke on these subjects using humor in a way that really humanized his experience, and showed his ability to overcome. After his speech, I was one of many that approached Greg and shared my family’s story and struggles. Greg left us all feeling less ashamed about our family’s struggles, and with solid action items we could take with us in our battles. I would highly recommend Greg to any group wishing to start an open dialogue on these difficult subjects.
