When is National Tell A Joke Day?
National Tell A Joke Day is the time to share a belly laugh or two with a buddy, and you don't have to be a comedian to join in the fun.
The holiday is celebrated each year on August 16, although its origin is unknown. The annual event is said to have emerged in the '90s or early 2000s, but of course, jokes have been celebrated in many ways and on many days before that.
And as they say, laughter really could be the best medicine. It's been proven that indulging in laughter can reduce stress and have positive effects on your mental health. A hearty chuckle has even been linked to reducing pain, lowering blood pressure, stimulating organs, and boosting the immune system.
