One Man Burlesque Show. Come and see it. Come and get your tickets. What are you doing, mate? You look like a busty peacock. I'm just using my natural talents as a side hustle. But I've got no idea how you sell tickets on the internet. Well, why aren't you just using Ticket Taylor? You know, the online ticket sales platform. Instead of sticking tickets down your cleavage.

They've helped ticket events of all sizes, from huge festivals to school fairs to comedy nights and whatever this is. Oh, what am I doing with my life? I can't get on ticket, Taylor.

No. This is a paid advertisement for better help. Summer is here and it's the best. Camping in the woods, getting down the beach, showing off my brand new full back tattoo. Look at that. Is that a picture of Ronnie Pickering? Who? Doesn't matter. Yep, when summer's good, it's really good. But it can be a pressure too. For some people, it all gets a bit much.

Kids are out of school, trying to juggle work and play, getting stuck in a cycle of guilt and anxiety, when you'd rather be down the beach showing off tattoos of internet celebrities. It's important to make time for yourself, and that's where therapy can help you to understand what you really need and make some boundaries so life doesn't feel like it's spiraling out of control. BetterHelp is one of the leading online therapy platforms with over 30,000 therapists worldwide. And the therapists in the UK are fully

qualified and work to a strict code of conduct. They use a short questionnaire to match you

with the best therapist for your needs and if you're not happy you can switch it at any time.
