Dave's Guide to Coming Out Of Lockdown

81% of Brits are anxious about lockdown coming to an end and the world returning to some sort of 'normal'. To help us all through this, Dave asked five comedians to give their advice on how to be in the world again.

Four-in-five (81%) of British adults are feeling socially apprehensive as lockdown ends according to a new study released today, commissioned by UKTV's entertainment channel Dave.

Simon Gunning, CEO of CALM, says: "There's no denying lockdown has had an huge impact on our physical and mental wellbeing. In the 365 days following the first lockdown the CALM helpline has answered over 147,000 calls and chats. That is a call for help every 62 seconds, with chats and messages exchanged around topics such as isolation, anxiety, relationship concerns, health worries, financial stress and suicidal thoughts.

"After being stuck indoors for so long, having the ability to see your mates at the pub, visit our families and get out of the house is great. But understandably for many it might be uncomfortable getting back into the swing of things. We're all on different timeframes, so It's important not to expect too much. Humour is a great way to make people feel at ease and we're delighted to be partnering with Dave to raise awareness, encourage people to talk more, and accept its ok not to be ok."
