Stand-Up 4 Recovery (SU4R) kicks off its monthly comedy show, One Night At A Time at the ATL Comedy Theater Underground! Each month, SU4R presents sober-friendly events for people in recovery by comedians in recovery from addiction and/or mental health challenges. Recovery is about connection, and comedy is a connection through laughter. SU4R shows that not only is recovery real, but it can also be real fun. They remind us that while recovery is serious, we shouldn’t take ourselves too seriously. Sharing their experience, strength, and jokes, this award-winning comedy show’s goal is to exemplify resilience, reduce stigma, and serve as a beacon of hope for those in and seeking recovery. Allies and sober-curious welcome!

Why Stand-Up 4 Recovery?
- One of the biggest fears for those in early recovery is the dread of boredom. It's a common complaint among those who have experienced setbacks, with many citing it as a trigger for their recurrence of symptoms. Especially at night, when vulnerabilities can be at their highest, there's not much to do for those in recovery.
- People in recovery love to have a good time, maybe even to a fault. Take away their favorite thing, and they’re even more determined to try and enjoy life. And that's where Stand-Up 4 Recovery comes in.
- By standing on stage, sharing their lived experience, strength, and yes, jokes, Stand-Up 4 Recovery exemplifies resilience, reduces stigma, and serves as a beacon of hope for those in and seeking recovery.
- Through the power of laughter, Stand-Up 4 Recovery fosters connection and reminds us that while recovery is serious, we don't have to take ourselves too seriously.
The monthly series and pop up shows features a rotating cast of national touring comedians in recovery from around the country. Past performers have appeared on Netflix, Conan, IYCPAA, The Late Late Show, BET’s Comic View, NAMI Baltimore & Coastal Virginia, HBO, MTV, The International Convention of AA, and Comedy Central. Show are produced and hosted by Richie Satori (ComedyHype’s Hot 100 Comics to Watch/Hulu FX/FunnyMarco/SU4R Comedy Fest).
