Laughter is cathartic, and—especially after the year we’ve all gone through—can be good for whatever ails you   Laughing triggers a release of endorphins, improves heart function, decreases stress hormones, boosts the immune system, and even burns calories; all of which is wonderful.  All things considered, though, wouldn’t you rather partake of this sort of activity in a comfortable seat, with a great view of the stage, sipping and noshing on top-shelf cocktails and snacks, in a five-star resort bursting with some of the world’s most sought after names in dining, retail, and nightlife? [Of course, you would: That was rhetorical.]

This summer, thanks to the fine folks at Wynn Las Vegas and the team at AEG Presents Las Vegas, you can do just that at the intimate Encore Theater, where there isn’t a bad seat in the house.  Simply find a comedian whose humor aligns with your comedic sensibilities, check your calendar to make sure the date works, and book your tickets, now; and give your pituitary gland an excuse to start pumping those endorphins!
