Looking for a great schtick? Here’s one you can easily perform on Clown Rounds, at special events, Humor Clinics or whenever you feel this screening is needed!
Attending conferences and ongoing training is good for all of us. It inspires, informs and our networks branch out in new, meaningful ways.
I’m still relishing the wonderful memories and enjoying people I met at the AATH Conference last month. What a thrill to present “Establishing a Hospital Clown or Family Entertainer Group: Train, Prepare, Equip and Promote” at this year’s Association for Applied and Therapeutic Humor Conference at Disneyland in Anaheim, California!
It was a stellar gathering of folks from all over the world, involved in many different aspects of Applied Humor Therapy. The free-flow of ideas and encouragement was tremendous. I had heard there was a lot of energy in this group — and I can attest to that! It picked us up and carried us throughout our time there, from the time we stepped off the plane…
Because there were so many aspects and venues for Applied Humor Therapy represented by the attendees, this gave me an excellent opportunity to video several for an exciting new segment on Humor Bit-TV, on the Healing Humor Channel!
The new segment will present a good handful of representative applications of humor in various aspects of everyday life — in the words of the experts! I am truly grateful for all who embraced this special project, and gave a few precious moments of their time and to sharing their hearts on this topic.
Currently, we are in production mode and will soon be releasing these new episodes on the Healing Humor Channel. Last year’s ‘Humor Bit-TV’ theme was “Memorable Healing Humor Moments” featuring several well-known clowns and family entertainers. This year’s focus is on various venues for Applied Humor Therapy, and benefits.
Please stay tuned — more to come soon!
Meantime, tune-in any time 24-7…
