June 1, 2012: The Best Places for Laughs in Worcester
by Susan Wagner

For those seeking the medicine of laughter or just looking for a good time, the many comedy clubs of Worcester can be just the ticket. Can laughter really help us heal? New studies seem to point in that direction. But why wait for them to figure it out? Just yuck it up. It certainly can't hurt.

Scientists know that laughing increases the rate at which the heart beats and the muscles contract. Laughter stimulates the cardiovascular, circulatory, and endocrine systems. Some studies have even shown that laughter bolsters the immune system, reduces stress hormones, and increases our tolerance to pain.

According to the American Association for Therapeutic Humor, humor allows us to positively change our attitudes when the going gets rough. While experiencing humor, you can't experience distress and the bottom line is that, after we laugh, we feel good. All in all, spending some time having your funny bone tickled seems like the way to go...

It is even possible to hire your own comedic talent. THEY Improv brings together the finest Massachusetts talents for any local function with an emphasis on area colleges...

Even in the most difficult of times, a laugh, or even simply a smile, can go a long way toward making you feel better. And laughter really is contagious, just hearing laughter primes your brain and readies you to smile and join in the fun. So get ready, set, laugh!
