National Humor Month was founded in 1976 by comedian and best-selling author Larry Wilde, Director of The Carmel Institute of Humor. With Larry's blessings and our own sky-high enthusiasm, we look forward to carrying on the grand tradition of inviting all of the citizens of the world to join in celebrating humor, laughter and mirth for all of their redeeming and beneficial purposes.

Steve Wilson, Joyologist and Founder of World Laughter Tour, is the Director of National Humor Month.

 

On June 28, 2008, Steve received the mantle of this auspicious position with all responsibilities, rights and privileges appertaining thereto (along with a big box of funny stuff) from Larry Wilde.

 

We honor those who make us laugh, professionals and amateurs alike, as well as friends, neighbors, teachers, and relatives, including your Uncle Fred and Aunt Tillie.

 

This is the place where you can come to share ideas about how to celebrate humor, information about the ancient roots of humor and the myriad contemporary expressions of humor.

 

We look forward to encouraging humor in everyone's life around the world and all year long.

Scott Friedman, CSP, 2004-2005 President of National Speakers Association, Suggests These 10 Ways to Celebrate National Humor Month

 

10. Send out child-like invitations to your next meeting.

      Everyone brings a gift for a needy child.

 

9.   Be a Cookie Monster! Come in early to drop off a cookie

      (or chocolate!!) on each employee's desk. No note. No

      announcement. Surprise!

 

8.   Change the word "deadline" to "finish line" to celebrate all

      completions.

 

7.   Practice kind acts of random. The third person to work

      today wins a photo with my Aunt Gladys.

 

6.   Celebrate employees' 'inner child' by posting their baby

      pictures on a bulletin board and guess who's who.

 

5.   Celebrate the first stress of the day! Computer issues?

      Bravo! Time for a latte and a chocolate croissant.

 

4.   Make an "already done" list and celebrate your

      accomplishments.

 

3.   Play theme music to match the tome of your upcoming

      meeting, i.e., Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive." "What ever

      happened to her?".

 

2.   Name that "hum." Organize a 'hum-along'. It's hard to be

      stressed when you're humming.

 

1.   Enroll yourself in the Hokey Pokey Clinic and turn

      yourself around.
