“Laughter is the best medicine” - Multiple sources
Sick of all the Covid news? Are you struggling to find some humour? Here are a few suggestions to brighten your day and work out your abs. Giggles guaranteed!
Start by warming up with a National Film Board animated cartoon. Too many choices? Try this Oscar-nominated classic, which garnered over 15 awards: The Cat Came Back
Keep going with a few “Just for Laughs” gags, and marvel at our collective gullibility. If you are lucky, you might recognize a participant, as most of the segments were shot in Montreal. These side-splitting shorts are available on Facebook and Youtube.
Then top it all off with a few hilarious stand-up comedians from our Hoopla collection. You can choose between two formats of full-length shows: Video and Audio.
After all the laughing, if you are ready to share the joy, develop your joke repertoire and revel in your audience’s inevitable eye-rolling and sighs, with The Best “A Man Walks into a Bar” jokes or the Reader’s Digest joke collection.
