Hello Columbia: A Fun-Filled Weekend of Comedy and Health!
Columbia is buzzing with excitement as the second annual Healthy Laughter comedy weekend is just around the corner! Kicking off from November 29 to December 1, this event, hosted by WF Media Group, promises a weekend full of laughter, healing, and plenty of engagement for the whole family!
Get Ready for Laughter and Health Awareness!
If you’re in the mood for joy and good vibes, then you’ll want to mark your calendar for this fantastic lineup. Each night, audiences will be treated to hilarious performances by nationally recognized talents like Joey I.L.O. and Donald Martin. And here’s a sweet deal: you can score FREE tickets to the Saturday night show by simply registering for the Health Expo happening earlier that day! Sounds like a win-win, right?
Health Expo: Get Screened for Free!
This is no ordinary comedy show; it’s all wrapped up in a mission of wellness. The Health Expo offers free biometric health screenings courtesy of PRISMA Health. Yes, you heard that right—free! Not only can you check your health stats, but you’ll also discover delicious food trucks, enjoy a healthy talk panel, and even enter giveaways! How fun is that? You can shop from local vendors and groove to some upbeat music while you’re at it.
Eunissa Warnock, the co-founder of WF Media Group, expressed her hopes with the event: “Our hope is that as we’re disseminating information regarding health and wellness, it will start to impact people’s lives.” The Healthy Laughter event aims to blend laughter and learning for a feel-good experience that resonates with everyone who attends.
A Legacy of Laughter with a Purpose
Healthy Laughter has a rich history, originating in Savannah 21 years ago. It all started when comedian Akintunde Warnock wanted to encourage African American men to get prostate exams. With a unique twist, those who got screened received a four-pack of tickets to Warnock’s comedy show. Talk about an incentive! The first event was a massive hit, and the idea has traveled to Columbia, ignited by Eunissa’s personal health journey.
A few years back, Eunissa faced a tough challenge when she was diagnosed with blood clots in her legs due to heightened stress levels. “That really shook me, as you could imagine,” she shared. This experience lit a fire in her to prioritize stress management and wellness, and she’s dedicated to sharing that passion with others through the Healthy Laughter event.
Family-Friendly Fun Awaits!
WF Media Group prides itself on delivering family-friendly entertainment, ensuring that everyone leaves with a smile and perhaps a nugget of health wisdom. “When people think of comedy, a lot of times they think of something that’s not appropriate for children or families,” Eunissa added, emphasizing their commitment to creating an inclusive atmosphere. So, bring the kids along and enjoy a night of good-hearted fun!
