Join us for a lunch filled with laughter, connection, and meaningful conversation.
Laughter isn’t just fun — it’s social glue. Studies show that sharing a laugh makes us feel closer, lowers defenses, and sparks openness, helping us build trust, deepen relationships, and bridge divides. And honestly, who couldn’t use that right now?
Connect with others through structured games, improv, and small-group dialogue led by professional facilitators. You’ll share experiences, exchange perspectives, and learn from one another in a judgment-free, supportive space.
At our most recent gathering, several participants shared just how powerful the experience felt:
<ul><li>“United in Laughter was healing. I sat with incredible people and was able to cry, laugh, and truly connect.”</li><li>“It made me feel closer to strangers and reminded me how bonding laughter can be.”</li><li>“It was a two-hour escape into warmth and connection.”</li></ul>
Part of Share Our America, United in Laughter is a new 92NY conversation series designed to bring people together — to listen, laugh, and strengthen community through humor and human connection.
