International Moment of Laughter Day 2023: Date, history, significance

You can guffaw out loud or giggle; you can do whatever you want as long as you are laughing simultaneously. This day reminds us to look beyond our stressful lives and discover something that brings us great joy. International Moment of Laughter Day dates back to 1997, when Izzy Gesell, a humour consultant and psychologist, invited the entire world to participate in this day and engage in some humorous activities to encourage everyone to chuckle.
