Comedy Feels Good!

They say laughter is the best medicine. For many years in fact, comedy has been used to lift the spirits of so many people and is arguably one of the greatest tools to unite people in times when this is much needed. There's nothing like an out roar of laughter to make someone feel better about whatever is going on in their lives.

There have been so many great comedians throughout history too and as powerful as they were/are with their comedy they should be considered doctors! Names like Richard Pryor, Bill Cosby, Mitch Hedberg, Eddie Griffin, Jim Carrey, and the list goes on and on and on! These are some of the best at what they do/did.  Stand up comedy is such an incredible force and can really leave you with your sides hurting from all the laughter. It is even better when the comic is really ON! A Comedy Club should be viewed more as a clinic or hospital than anything because there's lots of healing going on in them places!



There are also wonderful movies that will make you laugh your stress and sorrow away as well. There are just so many to choose from that it makes it hard to even discuss because we could go for hours, heck, maybe even days! More recently I got to see the movie "Ted" an outrageously funny movie from Seth McFarlane. The creator of Family Guy and other shows such as The Cleveland Show and American Dad, McFarlane can also be seen on some Comedy Central Roasts serving up some side splitting laughter to the masses.


There's also doctors Zack Galifianakis and Will Ferrell as well as other favorites of mine such as Jeffrey Ross (the roastmaster himself!) and the late Greg Giraldo could really leave you thinking at the same time as making you laugh til you were crying.

There are so many great comedians that give us/gave us so much great material to keep us medicated for a lifetime. We just need to appreciate this form of therapy as a legitimate way of coping with bad feelings and bad situations. There is seemingly nothing better than a good comedy when you want to feel better! Well except maybe sex but we can't get that all the time now can we? And it can also be way more expensive and is harder to obtain than a comedy.

 Live, Laugh, Love!
