The Nutters Club

Founded in 2009 by Mike King, The Nutters Club began life as a radio show which encouraged us all to take ownership of our own mental health.

In the years following we’ve made it to TV, published a book and have a robust Facebook community where people interact every day. This website has been designed to be the hub for all things Nutters Club. Whether you’ve heard us on the radio, found us online or on TV, or if you’ve been referred to this site by your health professional, you are welcome here.

Target Zero - The Documentary

Suicide takes more lives in New Zealand than the road toll and drowning fatalities combined. After years as a mental health advocate, comedian Mike King has turned his attention to suicide prevention. This is the story of his work in the community to challenge and reduce the statistics.
