VOTE!

 Looking for a title: we need your help? Here are our thoughts so far. Vote for which one you think is best!

Make Some Noise
Give It Up
Pull It Out
Stand Up

We're gonna steal some quotes for the film. Among them: Comedy is defiance. It's a snort of contempt in the face of fear and anxiety. And it's the laughter that allows hope to creep back on the inhale.

A day without laughter is a day wasted.

Updates!

Last week saw Erin, Logan and Tukes at the Relapse Theater filming more than a dozen stand up comedians. Erin approached comedy screenwriter David Silverman of CakeBaby to speak with him about the healing power of laughter. Jimmy will follow up with Silverman this week.

Next steps: arranging interviews with GSU therapists to discuss the psychological benefits of laughter.
