Larry Wilde - April is National Humor Month
CARMEL, CA -- Americans, Canadians, Australians, South Africans, New Zealanders, and the British, from healthcare professionals to scholars to giggling grade schoolers, will be brushing up on the benefits of belly laughs this April in celebration of National Humor Month . National Humor Month was founded in 1976 by comedian and best-selling author Larry Wilde, Director of The Carmel Institute of Humor. It is designed to heighten public awareness on how the joy and therapeutic value of laughter can improve health, boost morale, increase communication skills and enrich the quality of one's life. "Since April is often bleak and grim and taxes are due on the 15th, it can be one of the most stressful times of the year," says Wilde, author of 53 books on the subject of humor.

Hunt’s first thought was to put a pitch together and raise some money, but MacKaye stopped him short: “He says, ‘Look, if you want to pitch something, move to New York or Los Angeles. In D.C., we do things,’ ” Hunt recalls.

On Monday May 21 st , Mr. Watts is scheduled to perform at the 9:30 Club, Washington D.C.’s hub for touring musical acts, comedy troupes, and improve-comedian-musical-indie-alternative performance hybrids like Reggie Watts. The thing is, there isn’t anyone quite like Reggie Watts. For my ten-minute conversation with him (all thanks due to Wayne Manigo and Mandy Dalton for setting up the interview and for founding our writers group), I wanted to ask Reggie things he had never been asked before, much like every other inquisitive and journalistic mind would.
