I just wanted to let you know how I have been getting on since I came to the last Laughter Club meeting in September. I have been following your instructions to smile first thing every morning and last thing at night. Wonderful!

I have to say that I have felt a real change in me. My face seems lighter and I feel more positive. 

Last week whilst reading the news on Bristol hospital Radio my fellow news-reader read a funny story and I laughed until I cried and neither of us could finish the news through constant giggling. I do not remember the last time that I laughed that much and I wanted to thankyou for giving me courage to laugh out loud again. 

We've featured on BBC1, Discovery Channel, BBC2, and at Cheltenham Science Festival (twice).

We've chatted with Johnny Walker on Radio 2, and led to the UK's 1st National Sponsored Laugh-a-thon with the British Heart Foundation.

Fancy a Retreat or a holiday experience? There's a Laughter Retreat in south devon 30/7-1/8, and the chance to 'spice up your laugh life' at cortijo romero, spain, 28/8-4/9.

'The workshop was just great.  What a total relief to get out of my head and just let go.  Really letting go with the laughing...my cheeks and tummy were aching after so much!!!  Thank you.  Amazing, after the workshop I seemed to have real energy coming from within and a sense of calm.  So, I will practice this amazing gift.'

BRISTOL LAUGHTER CLUB

 'I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed last night!  It had been a while since I'd been able to get there and I really had missed it!
This week, I had a big decision to make regarding my job contract....... and realised that after the laughter club, when I got home, I hadn't even worried about the job situation for over 2 hours, the laughing kept me distracted from my worrying thoughts!'
