Laughter as a Benefit—Literally

The pandemic has significantly impacted mental wellness, and people need connection to feel a sense of belonging.
We want to help additional individuals and families facing serious illnesses, such as cancer, depression, infertility, and surgery, with our comic relief, lifting their spirits and helping them during difficult times. This is a groundbreaking opportunity for you to engage with a company that has always used laughter to support mental wellness. Please inquire about how we can bring this groundbreaking benefit to you to offer to your employees.

FAQ

Is this a stand-up show?

No! We are an interactive comedy show!

Can I customize my event?

Yes! All of our sessions are customized to meet the needs of the client!

What does it cost?

Fees vary depending on the number of people participating and the level of training.

Is the material appropriate and inclusive for everyone?

We are a feel-good, laughing with company. Because our roots are in the Alzheimer’s world and helping families feel less isolated, we welcome people of all ages and backgrounds. Cats too.

Can we incorporate LOC into a larger event?

Yes! We love to be part of sales kick-offs, end-of-year celebrations, learning and development conferences, and all conferences!

Where are you offering in-person events?

Anywhere you would like to fly us! We are based in Los Angeles, although we do have a handful of people across the country, so we don’t always have to get on airplanes!

How is this different from an improv class?

We are not here to make anyone comedians. We are here to create connections through shared laughter. The games/exercises are used to help people get to know each other and bring some comic relief to people.

How many people can be on the virtual events?

We can run events for any size group from 5 - 500. Over 20 people and we will go in to break out rooms for a part of the session for more interaction. Every breakout room has two LOC comedians in it at all times.

Do you have the capacity for in-person events?

Yes! Reach out so we can figure out what fits in with your budget.

My team is very introverted. How will this work for them?

We never force anyone to participate, but we are a very warm and fun team. Also, laughter is contagious, so we usually hook people!

Do we have to have our cameras on?

In a Laughter On Call event, you don’t HAVE to do anything. But we do encourage you to turn your camera on because it’s more fun for you and for everyone.

Is this fun or educational?

It is BOTH! We definitely have fun and laugh together, and there is always something to take away from the experience, whether it’s a party or a training. All the games we play are also wonderful exercises for improving communication for team building, or just building your own confidence!

Is this like Laughter Yoga?

Yes…and no. Laughter Yoga generates laughter through physical exercises and breathing that simulate the experience of laughter in the body until you actually start laughing. We run games that generate authentic communication that makes your colleagues laugh. However, we do a light physical warm-up at the top!
