Just had to write a piece for an umbrella organisation about what it is I mean bring to the table. I’m blogging it here so I can find it again:
Ian refers to himself as a “Practical Consulting Gelotologist” bringing, as he does, a number of skills and approaches together relating to laughter. He is a Stand-up Comedian, a Laughter Yoga teacher, and a popular speaker and workshop leader exploring, laughter, happiness and well-being.
The benefits of laughter have been well researched over the last few years. It brings mental and physical health benefits, it creates and reinforces community and belonging, it boosts creativity and the immune system, it also acts as natural pain relief, oh and it improves sleep.
Ian can run laughter sessions, Stand-Up Comedy and speaking workshops, as well as tailored input and sessions around laughter, well-being, happiness and spirituality
