Laughter's the Zaniest Medicine

The thing about laughing clubs is that they don’t rely on jokes, oversized shoes or sarcasm (eh-hem) to get a laugh. It’s unconditional laughter. Laughing-clubbers laugh at nothing - although it’s likely they’re having a laff at themselves.

Federation Square’s first laughing session is on this Sunday (and on the first Sunday of every month).

And in case you're looking for context before deciding to join in, here’s an old profile of the original laughing club in Mumbai (Bombay). There are now over 5000 worldwide.
So who’s laughing now?

Slow guides

The Slow Guides are for anybody who wants to slow down and live it up, seachange without shifting postcode. They celebrate all that’s local, natural, traditional, sensory and most of all gratifying about living in Sydney and Melbourne. Click on a book for a preview.

How to buy a book

Start off slow and get your book the old-fashioned way; pop into a store and say g’day. But if you’re too entranced with what’s happening in your garden, or too preoccupied gazing on a cloud, you could always order one online.
