Things to do on International Joke Day

Support live comedy
One of the greatest ways to commemorate International Joke Day is to go to a comedy club in your region, support the club and its performers, and enjoy a good laugh. Perhaps it’s a tiny, local club with rising comedians, or an established company that attracts top talent. In any case, your support ensures that we’ll have a constant supply of one-liners for years to come.

Learn a joke
Telling a decent joke is far more difficult than remembering a few words. It requires timing, audience reading, delivery, articulation, and experience. So, why not take advantage of this vacation to learn – and practice – a joke? Consider the setting, rehearse the delivery, then put it to the test with your friends. If it floats, you now have a joke in your back pocket that you can use at any awkward dinner gathering.

Take a break from the news
Trying to keep up with today’s 24-hour news cycle may be exhausting. On July 1, attempt to avoid reading the news and instead read funny pieces in any of the country’s top newspapers. You may also get the finest online comedy on sites like Reddit, Buzzfeed, The Onion, or any of your favorite sources. Who knows what we could accomplish if we all enjoyed a nice belly laugh, even if just for a day.
