What happens at a laughter session? Laughter sessions are very easy to enjoy and require no preparation. Just bring yourself along (and your colleagues, children, partner etc). At Laughter Works we often start the session with a short talk on a related topic such as laughter, wellbeing, happiness or resilience.
