A ComedyCures Live Therapeutic Humor Program is an interactive event designed to entertain and educate people of all ages with family-friendly humor. Our live programs include the award-winning ComedyCures Laugh-A-Thon™ and ComedyCures LaughAbout™ programs. As mentioned by Oprah magazine, a ComedyCures Laugh-A-Thon™ features a ComedyCures Humor Troupe, including a facilitator and professional comic(s), in a fun-filled tailor made performance. For a ComedyCures LaughAbout™ we bring the laughter from room to room in a hospital or other facility, as seen on Good Morning America. And of course, our award-winning ComedyCures LaughingLunch™experience, delivers a delicious afternoon lunch, laughter and entertainment, as seen on The CBS Early Show, CNN and WABC.  At all our live events, patients learn to rediscover their comic perspective through ComedyCures original techniques and strategies. These strategies assist patients of all ages in coping with illness, pain, fear, anxiety, depression, disability, insomnia and the physical side effects of medication. You can even sample a little Laughter Yoga if you'd like. We have fun! Our new ComedyCures LaughingLunch™Break Digital is made possible by a grant from Cancer Treatment Centers of America www.CancerCenter.com. Our innovative comedy PSA may also be heard 24/7 at www.1010WINS.com or www.CancerCompass.com or daily on 1010 Wins news radio at 12:35pm EDT.

WHO CAN ATTEND & WHAT IS THIS LAUGHINGLUNCH™?

Click here to see LaughingLunch™ video

The ComedyCures LaughingLunch™ is a FREE humor-filled, therapeutic, uniquely designed comedy experience for people living with illness, depression, trauma and disabilities. Each "attendee*" (as defined by our mission) may bring 1 to 3 family members, friends and/or direct caregivers as their guests. (Featured by The CBS Early Show!)

In addition to "attendees", "direct caregivers" and "professional caregivers" and "health care or trauma relief agency staff" are encouraged to attend and may invite at least one "patient" and/or "client". "Widows" are also entitled to attend with a support person(s), if desired.

WHY WAS THIS LAUGHINGLUNCH PROGRAM CREATED & LAUNCHED AS A FREE EVENT?

So there are no obstacles to laughing, learning or experiencing a miracle! We started doing so many specific events and conventions for people that we also just wanted to produce an "open to our entire mission" ComedyCures event. We saw a need to bring people from all walks of life, with all different issues, together to experience a ComedyCures program.  It does not matter what curve ball life has thrown you or what socio-economic level you find yourself; laughter, hope and healing are universal. This LaughingLunch afternoon is fantastic. ComedyCures Founder, and LaughingLunch Creator, Saranne Rothberg has "recreated" the dynamic elements of her original CELEBRATION OF LIFE: "Chemo Comedy Parties" for the general ComedyCures audience, not just for cancer patients. (Featured by Good Morning America.)

Saranne launched ComedyCures from her 1999 chemo chair when she saw the impact her "intimate comedy party and strategies" were having, not only on her own body, mind and spirit but on other patients, caregivers and medical staff.  Saranne is now cancer-free. (Featured in Oprah's Book.) ComedyCures brings these award-winning programs and strategies around the globe to all aged people with the help of many talented performers, staff, volunteers, sponsors, donors and the media.

HOW DO I REGISTER?

Reservations are required for all complimentary lunch and complimentary VIP show tickets and complimentary special gifts. Small groups welcome. Because of the high demand for complimentary tickets we ask that you only attend LaughingLunch once - special circumstances considered, please email us.
