I went to a Live at the Apollo comedy taping with a couple of friends last night. One had procured tickets. It was a fabulous night out. Great chat at the pub before, between sets and after the show. It was interspersed with 6 excellent comedians performing at a very high standard.
We laughed A LOT.
And it feels great to laugh so hard and so much.
Get thee to a comedy club, pronto!
Share good comedy with your friends and family. Laugh together and enjoy the genius.
Few things compare with having a really good laugh. What a fabulous feeling it gives you. The case for laughter is easy: It makes you feel great.
I’ve been searching out more laughter in the past week. I’ve seen a few video clips that have really made me chuckle. There have even been a couple where I was caught off guard and really howled. Those can be the best moments. When you really weren’t expecting something to be funny and it strikes you in a certain way.
YouTube is a particularly good way to discover great clips. You can search for particular shows, comedians, situations or types of humour. Then their algorithm gives you more of the same. You don’t have to do much work to find a stream of clips that suit you and the mood you’re in.
I’m a fan of clever comedy. Quick wit or a facial expression can be brilliant. Though I generally don’t enjoy put downs, practical jokes or physical pain as comedy. It’s simply not my thing.
Laughter is the best medicine. You smile and your body releases endorphins. These are your body’s good feeling chemicals. They can reduce pain and help you heal.
This is the case for laughter.
Now go find some good clean funny videos and make your face ache with joy.
