Battling Cancer with Comedy: Aiden Cowie

Stand-up comedian Aiden Cowie talks about his teenage cancer diagnosis, living with a visible difference after life-saving facial surgery, and how body image and identity have shaped his story. We explore the power of comedy to spark honest, meaningful conversations, and how Aiden’s resilience and sharp wit have taken him from hospital wards to the Royal Albert Hall.
