You've Got to Laugh is the seventh studio album by Nik Kershaw, released on 26 October 2006 under his own record label.

Initially, the album was only available for purchase online via his web site through his own studio, Shorthouse Records.

The album is currently available for digital download via iTunes or eMusic, as well as other music streaming services such as Spotify.

The songs are all about my own experiences or those of people around me; they're about friends and foes; they're about real life, which means there's nothing too glamorous going on".

The holding page on the official Nik Kershaw website had an instrumental in-work version of the closing track "You Don't Have to Be the Sun".
