STARTING MAY 9TH
Saturdays from 1-2pm
Completely Ridiculous Productions and The Northampton Center for the Arts would like to welcome you to the Pioneer Valley’s one and only Laughing Club!
In this weekly meetup we will gather together for an hour on zoom, introduce ourselves, warm up our bodies and laugh ‘til it hurts.
Why?
Because we believe it is important to remind ourselves that it’s ok to live in a happy body and laugh uproariously, especially in such crazy and chaotic times.
But seriously, Why?
Because laughter is a necessary survival skill, that’s why. Also, super serious people like Doctors, Ministers and Therapists all around the world say that laughter strengthens the immune system, purges toxins, burns calories, works as a natural anti-depressant and keeps us resilient, happy and healthy! Laughter is the Best Medicine after all – and it’s FREE!!
The PVLC is open to any and everyone, and just like going to the gym or taking a yoga class, there is nothing performative about it. However, a sense of humor will most certainly help – so be sure to bring yours along!
Each session is $15 suggested donation benefitting both the NCFA and Completely Ridiculous Productions. To sign up, please email completelyridiculousprod@gmail.com
