What if it rains? : good question, bring an umbrella. We improvise! But if the weather is severely bad, using common sense, it'll be called off.
Enquiries : Rada Millwood on 02 9716-0130 or Usuff Omar
Rada is the regular laughter leader, I'm a stand in leader.
Comments : New members most welcomed. Free.
Note : I just attend this club – I’m not the leader, but I'm happy to answer enquiries.
Of the various free outdoor laughter clubs I've been to in Sydney, Newtown is my favourite.
It often has a strong laughter energy, although this can vary from session to session depending
on the chemistry, whos attending, size of the group etc.
(Hey - laughter is mysterious - you can't bottle it or call upon it on demand!)
I can be contacted at usuff.omar@gmail.com
Below is a video of Rada leading the session on 26th July 2008.This gives you a taste of what its like in a LC. NUTS! But fun nuts. You have the option of standing and watching...
But the laughter is infectious and you might get carried along...
Cheers,
