New Jerseys Bad Boy To Host Biggest Ever "Laugh-In" in Los Angeles on May Day

Fresh from his role as Master of Ceremonies of the 2005 Beverly Hills Film Festival, Comedian Mike Marino will host the 1st Annual Southern California Laugh-In, part of the international World Laughter Day celebration.

(PRWEB) April 23, 2005 -- Marino, a native of New Jersey, recently headlined several USO Comedy Tours in Kosovo as well as hosting The Montreal Italian Film Festival and The Feast of San Gennaro in Los Angeles.

World Laughter Day" was created in 1998 by Dr Madan Kataria, founder of the worldwide Laughter Yoga movement. It is a positive manifestation for world peace and is intended to build up a global consciousness of community and friendship through laughter. Its popularity has grown exponentially with that of the Laughter Yoga movement (now counting over 5000 Laughter Clubs worldwide on all 5 continents).

This event attracts huge crowds worldwide spanning ages, race and creeds (over 10,000 in Copenhagen centre alone, Denmark), and proves the old adage ‘laugh and the world laughs with you. World Laughter Day will be celebrated this year in California in San Francisco, Los Angeles and Encinitas (San Diego County). The biggest event will be in Altadena, L.A.

This is a free event and all are welcome. Come with a smile and expect to laugh a lot for no reason. Why not enter our most infectious laughter" competition (male & female)? A panel of Hollywood celebrities will elect the winner of the year.

Laughter Yoga is a worldwide social movement (non-religious, non-sectarian, and non-political) that aims to promote world peace through laughter. It is based on the philosophy of acting happiness."
