Support for Mums: August 2013

Laughing has incredible properties and is sometimes known as the 'best medicine' for most situations.

When was the last time you seriously Laughed Out Loud? Laughed so loud that you couldn't stop.

That amazing feeling running through your body is a release on endorphins in your body.

Laughter stimulates the production of the alertness hormones catecholamines. These hormones in turn cause the release of endorphins in the brain. Endorphins foster a sense of relation and well being, many physical benefits to laughter have been reported by doctors and health professionals;

Here are just a few,

-decrease in stress hormone levels,
-strengthening of the immune system,
-muscle relaxation,
-pain reduction,
-lowering of blood pressure,
-cardiovascular conditioning,
-natural anti-depressant.

They say laughter is the best medicine, and what better way to shake those winter blues and ring in the spring than a dose of Aussie comedy?

Knock Knock Comedy is the perfect remedy, bringing comedy right to your doorstep – a six-week tour of Melbourne suburban venues launching in early September, featuring the cream of the crop from this country’s thriving comedy scene.

For two weeks of each month over spring, some of our best-loved funny guys and gals, will deliver the laughs from suburb to suburb, on the travelling road show that is Knock Knock Comedy.

Each Knock Knock Comedy show will feature a line-up of some of our finest stand-up comics, including an MC to keep the funny bones tickled in between sets.

September will be headlined by the Queen of Australian comedy, Fiona O’Loughlin, with the irreverent Bev Killick stealing the spotlight for one show only on September 5. Direct from RockWiz to your ‘hood, Brian Nankervis will MC week one, with “Dirty Laundry Live” host, Lawrence Mooney taking the mic for week two.

Garry Who is a stalwart on the comedy scene, having become a household name on much-loved TV shows such as “All Together Now”, “Pizza” and as Cop Garry in “Housos”. He will be the Knock Knock Comedy headliner in October, with everybody’s favourite “Bloke”, ARIA nominated MC Chris Franklin.
