Jeremy Thomas – How to stay sane in an insane world

7.3opm

Tickets are £10 and can be purchased from Eventbrite or in reception.

Get ready for an engaging, insightful, and surprisingly fun talk with the brilliant Jeremy Thomas. Known for his sharp wit and no-nonsense advice, Jeremy will take you on a journey through his personal experience navigating the music business with bipolar disorder and addiction, before handing over some truly helpful mental health tips—straight from his trusty “dashboard of dials.”

Jeremy is more than just an acclaimed author and speaker—he’s a living, breathing example of resilience, with a passion for helping others navigate the ups and downs of mental health. His talks, which he delivers to schools, colleges, and businesses across the UK (and beyond!), are packed with humour, heart, and plenty of practical takeaways.

Built on his own lived experience, Jeremy’s talks don’t shy away from tough topics, but they always come with a dash of levity and a lot of authenticity. He believes in breaking the mental health stigma—just like you’ve got to break a few eggs to make an omelette.

From depression to addiction, and everything in between, Jeremy shares real-world tips for staying mentally healthy and getting the most out of life. His core message is simple: “Prevention is better than a cure.”

In the end, Jeremy’s goal is to make mental health a conversation we can all have. His talks bring knowledge, awareness, and a good dose of humour to a topic that’s never been more important.

“Jeremy Thomas is a complete original. His writing, like his life, is a whirlwind of brilliance, wonder and blunder, by turns hilarious and terrifying. Highly recommended”
