How to make people laugh in a war zone

The Cultural Frontline

Available for over a year

Can humour be used as a weapon against war? Like many comedians, Ukrainian stand-up comic Anna Kochegura bases her work on her daily life. However since the Russian invasion in February, her daily life has turned 180 degrees on its head. She tells us about how the show must, and did, go on in Kiev, to help people cope and heal.
