We all know it’s true – laughter is the best medicine. Yet it is often extremely difficult to find opportunities in our busy days to have a good laugh. We’re all told -- be productive, be efficient, be leading-edge. When was the last time anyone at work ever told us, “Be funny”? Drawing on his own unique personality and wealth of experience in the personal and organizational benefits of laughter, Patch Adams shows audiences how humor, laughter, and good old-fashioned fun can make us all healthier and more productive. Others may talk about what their audience should do. Patch shows his audiences what to do. A master showman and storyteller, Patch’s highly interactive and hilariously funny sessions give audiences a live introduction to the practical benefits of a good belly-laugh.
