Here at Sober IS Fun we are proud to offer much more than just our extremely funny Alcohol-Free Comedy Events.
When our founder Martyn Davies is not booking extremely funny line-ups for The London Alcohol-Free Comedy Club, did you know he spends his time working for one of the UK’s leading Addiction Charities and speaks on his own lived experience?.
Over the past 6 years Martyn has spoken at numerous events, sharing his wealth of knowledge to avoid and to help motivate change of others in the real world.
Fast forward to 2023 and this saw Martyn proudly pick up two Awards for his work with others.
The first award is for recognition of his positive contribution to the recovery community within Essex from ERF The Essex Recovery Foundation
Martyn also received the ‘Hope Award’ from the UK’s leading Addiction Charity. This was to recognise Martyn’s work where his lived experience and new holistic approach to helping others, has helped many turn their lives around. Martyn now uses his lived experience on expert panels within the charity .
His specialist style of work with others doesn’t go un-noticed, often being invited by the NHS to sit on working panels to create frameworks for the UK’s Alcohol & Drug services
Martyn shared his message of hope in the national Action on Addiction 2023 Campaign ‘Everybody Knows Somebody’, and also recently attended Parliament to discuss addiction stigma with MP’s to help get addiction treatment higher up the political agenda.
2024 saw Martyn curate ‘A Healthy Dose of Humour ‘ , partnering with Essex Health Watch & NHS Partnerships . By using Stand-Up Comedy Martyn aims to bring greater awareness to Men’s Mental Health.
In 2025 Martyn is running The London Marathon for The Forward Trust. For more information & sponsorship click HERE
Having had a long fascinating career in the entertainments industry , Martyn shares his experiences openly about the period of his life in the early 90’s where he entered a extremely fast paced party lifestyle…..
Having got sober in 2018 , Martyn has gone on to dedicate his life to helping & inspiring others….
Martyn says‘ I have lived a good life but alcohol took its toll on me . I'm extremely humbled to have been asked to share my lived experience to help others at various events. If i can help just one person not make the same mistakes as i did, then job done. Alcohol can cause havoc for some companies which results in a low production workforce . Its a real privilege to be asked to join various companies at conference training or wellbeing days.’
‘‘ Thanks Martyn for joining us today and for delivering on a topic which can sometimes be hard to approach . I know this has got people talking already’ HIghways Agency ‘‘
