Laugh It Up Oceanside! It's National Humor Month

OCEANSIDE, CA —National Humor Month was conceived as a means to heighten public awareness of the therapeutic value of humor. Turns out laughter may just be the best medicine.

According to HumorMonth.com, it is no coincidence that the month begins with April Fool's Day, a day which has sanctioned frivolity and amusement for hundreds of years. While April Fools’ Day has been celebrated for centuries by different cultures, its exact origins remain a mystery.

During April, the Patch will be sharing funny stories and clips to keep you laughing all month long. First up is local comedian and America's Got Talent favorite, Vicki Barbolak. Check out her very first interview with the Patch and view a hilarious video of her original AGT audition.
