From the Deep End to the Punchline: Choosing to Stay

He teaches us that humor doesn’t minimize pain; it proves survival is possible. Grounded in lived experience—not textbooks—Frank's mission is clear: one conversation, one life saved.

Bio
Frank King, Suicide Prevention Speaker, writer for The Tonight Show for 20 years, speaker and comedian for 39.
His speaking is informed by his lifetime of Depression and Suicidality and coming close enough to ending his life that he can tell you what the barrel of his gun tastes like.
Turning that long dark journey of the soul into 13 TEDx Talks, sharing his lifesaving insights with corporations, and associations.
He’s shared the stage with comedians, Jeff Foxworthy, Adam Sandler, Jerry Seinfeld, Dr. Ken Jung, Ellen DeGeneres, Dennis Miller, and Bill Hicks, as well as entertainers, Lou Rawls, The Beach Boys, Randy Travis, and Nancy Wilson.
On top of all of that, he has survived 2 aortic valve replacements, a double bypass, a heart attack, and losing to a puppet on the original Star Search and has lived to joke about it all.
