Join us for a chat show with a difference
We’re inviting you to join us next week for a unique online event.
A bit of an experiment this one. Our first Summercamp watch party.
What’s a watch party I hear you ask?
It’s a unique opportunity to watch one of the talks from the 2019 Happy Startup Summercamp online from the comfort of your home with other Happy Startup followers. Watch and chat in realtime and when it’s over join a short discussion about the talk with the speaker themselves.
For this first watch party next Wed 13th November at 7pm GMT we’ll be live streaming the video of Laurence Shorter’s Spiritual Experience. An hour-long comedic spiritual chat show — the quite brilliant creation of author, coach and comedian Laurence Shorter.
In the show he tackles some deep existential questions in a comedic chat show format. Many people said it was their highlight from this year’s camp.
If you’re curious about Summercamp and what happens there, this will give you a little into our world. A bit like us — it’s silly and deep in equal measure.
Guests included John C. Parkin (author of the F**k It series of books), Christina Kisley (leadership coach), Charles Davies (Very Clear Ideas), Geoff Robb (solo house band) and Alex Wo Lambie (the creator of Enki — a modern fable for compassionate living).
After the live stream (the other) Laurence will be joining us for a Q&A afterwards.
Grab a cuppa, beer or pizza and prepare to be entertained and challenged. Hope you can join us.
Just 100 spaces available so registration is essential. Webinar takes place Wednesday 13th November 7–8.30pm UK time
About Laurence Shorter

Laurence is a long-time friend of The Happy Startup School who gave a memorable talk at Summercamp in 2017 — see video below.
Here’s what his spiritual experience is all about in his own words:
“Every year since my 30th birthday I’ve dreamt of creating a funny and brilliant stage performance that would catapult me to fame and success. In the meantime I’ve realised that my true calling is to bring together the authenticity and aliveness of comedy with the insightful illumination of shared self-inquiry. Doing this on stage is a powerful way of creating a turbo-boosted atmosphere for magical change. The ‘chat show’ format that is Laurence Shorter’s Spiritual Experience came into being when I started brainstorming ways to bring my coaching work (very private conversations which I find fascinating and gripping) on to stage. I also realised that it was time to out myself as a spiritual person, and be shamelessly grandiose by putting my own name in the title — an act of creative rebellion against my inner critic and small person.”
