Anyone know anything about it?

With Reb Aidel Miller and Zipi Dagan.- they're offering a course to those who might want to become Laughter Therapy Instructors.

Anyone know if there's value in it?

Someone in Crown Heights does something similar, I just can't remember who. I was at a birthday party when she talked about it. I don't think it's exactly the same thing, but I thought it was strange Confused

Note: I believe it's not about becoming a comedian... I think it's about therapeutic laughter in a professional and systematic way, intended for healing. If so, I'm very interested!

I'm curious...unless someone finds something funny, how does this work? You can't fake laughter. It takes a sense of humor.

I've watched the youtube clip of the waffle bride and everybody posted that they found her laughter infectious.

Waffle bride? I'm bored, post a link, & I'll be the Official Laughter Tester. If it works on me, anything will work on anybody.

That was another one...I heard her speak at Henya's shiur once, and I saw her in the street the following week. She is some kind of laughter therapist. I will say no more. The Birthday Girl says it was Chana Schonburg, but her idea was setting up a sort of ladies only comedy evening/session/club where women could let their sheitels down. I don't know if it ever took off.

The clip...I thought it was mildly (very mildly) amusing. And silly. Sorry, as Queen Vic said "We are not amused." Now give me old clips of Les Dawson, The Two Ronnies & Fawlty Towers...THAT"S funny!

I've been to one with Esther Russel. It was fun but pricey. I can't imagine I'd give up my day job for that...

I hear on Joan Hamburg the other day that successful entrepreneurs have an "ah ha" moment. This sounds like an "Oy Gevalt" one.

People PAY for this stuff? Rolling Eyes shock I'm in the wrong job.

They had a gathering at 9 PM in Sara Schnierer on 14th avenue . If anyone was there or spoke to anyone who was there, I'd like to hear what it was all about.

Looks like the ad served as a conversation piece, more than it attracted people to the program.

There's another one in Flatbush tonight. Is anyone planning on going? If yes, please report about it.
