Humour club also called as laughter club exists in the city of Chennai for several years. Before 40 to 50 years, there are lot of humour clubs in Chennai, but at present only a few clubs are operating in Chennai city. Among those few clubs, clubs situated in Triplicane, Tambaram and Besant Nagar are actively functioning still now, with few of its members.
These clubs are operating for providing some sort of mental relaxation and giving entertainment to the people, and they are not aiming only for monetary gain. But due to the changing scenario, most of the people are not interested to join in this club. Due to the advanced technology, during Sundays, people are highly interested to sit before Computer and Television, and they don’t want to spend their time towards going to these types of clubs.
These humour clubs would be functioning only on one or two Sundays in a month, with a small strength of people. Some clubs are charging very nominal fee from their members, and a few clubs are not at all charging fees from their members. Some clubs also would provide snacks and coffee to their members at their request.
The activities of the club would start in the morning, and it would end within a few hours. The chief guest attending the Humour Club would cool the minds of the members with his excellent jokes. Most of the members attending the sessions would bring their children also, in order to enjoy the funny moment in their life.
It is our duty to encourage the humour clubs in the city, by telling about the significance of humour clubs to our friends and relatives, and we must bring them to the clubs during Sundays, in order to enjoy the funniest moments in our life. By participating in the humour clubs, we would get great mental pressure and all of our worries would fly away from our mind, at least for some time, and we can relax ourselves by watching the funny jokes. Hence, let us give our full co-operation to the humour clubs, by participating as a member in the clubs.
Hence let us spend some of our time towards listening to comedy shows and towards engaging ourselves in doing some productive activity.
Last year (2023), I have also participated in a Humour Club meeting and shared some of the jokes, in order to make the audience to feel delighful.
