But Esme is dead, leaving the remaining three struggling with their relationships and lives both within the group and in the wider world.

Bubbles’ personal life is falling apart and she is barely holding it together. She hopes that her new business as a laughter yoga therapist will help, but despite numerous phone enquiries, nobody seems to understand what ‘Bubble-R-Us’ is all about. Furthermore, only three women have turned up to her first group meeting, and it seems none of them meant to be there. Downtrodden Kim is looking for upholstery, accident-prone Deb for ‘ordinary yoga’, and recently widowed Sheila for life-drawing. Over the next few meetings the four women find friendship and share secrets, support and laughter – despite never actually doing any laughter yoga! 

A comedy about female friendship, which proves that laughter really is the ‘best medicine’.
